Planning the Installation
Consult with your customer, and check local code restrictions, before determining a
location for the unit. The container should be installed in a location away from day to
day activity to minimize tampering. It should be accessible for maintenance and
occasional monitoring.
The fill box should be readily accessible for CO
2
deliveries 24 hours a day. A lock-
able fill box is part of the installation. The fill box location should be within 35-ft.
(10.7m) of the delivery point, due to the limited reach of the delivery vehicle.
For safety and ASME code requirements, the length of the fill line and vent lines from
the fill box to the easycarb™ must not exceed 20-ft. (6m) in length. Consult Taylor-
Wharton for technical assistance when installing longer lines to avoid problems.
A stainless steel surface mounted fill box is most commonly used as it minimizes
modifications to the building and installation time. However, flush mounted fill boxes
are available.
Plan the routing of fill and vent lines. These should be in an area well protected from
accidental damage. If you can’t conceal the lines, mount them to the interior walls, or
secure them to overhead structural members as required by many local codes. Avoid
hot areas if possible.
Do not route easycarb™ lines near steam or hot water lines. For local regulations
that require the cylinder to be elevated from the floor, we offer a platform base. If the
platform base is used to elevate the cylinder; the cylinder must be anchored to a wall
by its handling ring. Part numbers of the platform base and wall anchor can be found
in the Replacement Parts List. It is recommended that appropriate local code approv-
als be reviewed prior to scheduling the installation.
Note:
This container is manufactured
to ASME pressure vessel
specifications. It should not be
used to transport liquid carbon
dioxide. The easycarb™ is
intended to be transported to
the installation site empty and
filled after it is installed.
