CYCLE-TAINER System Plumbing and Piping Guide

After the solvent dispensing method is selected using the , the next step is to consider the location of the CYCLE-TAINER system within your facility. This Answer will provide guidance on components to complete CYCLE-TAINER system installation.

Your company safety officer is responsible for ensuring compliance with local fire and building codes and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes, particularly NFPA 30¹ and NFPA 45². Some key considerations for installation include:

• Maximum container size allowable by local regulations, building codes, and company policies.
• Allowable proximity of the CYCLE-TAINER system to the point of solvent use according to local regulations, building codes, and company policies.
• Requirements for storage area of full and empty CYCLE-TAINER system containers according to local regulations, building codes, and company policies.

Other factors to consider include:

• ASME CYCLE-TAINER system containers should be used if plumbing from distance or if higher flow rates are required.
• Keep hoses and tubing dedicated to single chemical product to maintain purity and quality.

CYCLE-TAINER systems can be located next to a fume hood or analytical instrument and connected with flexible tubing. Installations using rigid, mounted tubing can enable distribution of solvent throughout your facility to multiple points of use.
