gas flow.
3. Fabricate two lengths of ½ in. (12.7 mm) ODT copper or ½ in. (12.7 mm) I. D. nylon
tubing.
4. Drill a small pilot hole through the outer wall surface first to confirm that there are
no utility lines in the location selected, then enlarge the opening to a 2 ½ in. (64
mm) opening.
5. The fill box contains copper tube sections long enough to pass through the wall.
The fill section is already coupled but you must attach the vent section to the
bracket beneath the fill coupling using the strap clamp
and screws provided.
6. Pass the fill line through the wall, and mark for
cutting to length. Pull the fill box back off the wall. Cut
fill line to length, then cut vent line to same length, and
secure with screw to bracket in back of fill box.
7. After cutting the fill box tube sections to length,
install the box. Level the box, then mark four wall
anchor holes and drill; secure with appropriate anchor-
ing hardware. Weather seal between the box and the
building exterior is recommended.
Cylinder Handling
The easycarb™ cylinder can weigh upwards of 375 lb. (170 kg), but can easily be
moved by using a properly designed hand truck. A special Harper cylinder truck
(Model ULG 650A) is recommended. The container can also be lifted and moved
with a crane or hoist by attaching a sling to the holes, provided in the ring supports on
the top of the cylinder. Do not attach lift hooks to ring. Except for minor tipping on
the hand truck, the container must be kept upright at all times, and should not be
moved or transported full.
Installation Procedure
See page 12 for Component Identification.
1. Determine the location for the fill box on the outside wall.
SPECIAL NOTICE
Be sure and take the height of the fill box into consideration. Do not install box at
face height (approx.5 ½ ft./1.7 m). This can be dangerous during delivery. The
suggested height of mounting is approx. 3 to 4 ft. (.9 to 1.2m) above the ground.
WARNING:
Be sure there are no hidden utility lines in the location selected for mounting.
Consult the building plans, or make a test opening to confirm the wall is clear
of hidden hazards before drilling.
2. Measure the distance from the container to location where the fill box will be mounted to
determine the length of fill and vent line material required. Be careful to allow for all
routing and for thickness of the outside wall. Avoid sharp bends that may restrict liquid or
CAUTION:
If lifting by crane or hoist,
insert hooks in both lifting lug
openings on the cylinder ring.
Failure to do so could result
in container damage or
personal injury.
CAUTION:
If the container is installed in an
elevated location, it must be on
a well constructed platform that
will support more than 975 lb.
(422 kg.) When installed this
way, the easycarb™ must be
anchored to the wall from a
point on the top of the
container.
Note:
Nut and ferrule for vent line
and liquid connection are
attached to the plumbing to
prevent loss during shipment.
