For more information: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov Bail Handle Compressed Gas Connectors Maintenance Checklist Daily Inspect for Leak-tight seal • The main seal must be replaced more frequently depending on wear. Dismantling of the connector for this purpose is not required. It is recommended that an O-ring pick be used for removal to avoid damage to the groove • Clean groove if required and insert new O-ring Inspect for correct function. • Does the safety pin properly protrude and lock the connector under pressure? • Does the safety pin move backwards when the sys- tems depressurized? Weekly Inspect for correct function • Inspect the correct engagement of the collets • Check the connector’s collet thread with gauge • Check for any bent or missing components Periodic • Inspect that all threaded components are tight and properly torqued • Check for any bent or missing components • Check for proper actuation of handle, collets and all moving components • Check for leaks Gas connector standard replacement components listed in this section are immediately available for field replacement. Additional field replacement components such as bail handles are also available by consulting Ratermann Mfg., Inc. Remaining components are not offered for field replacement as they typically require special tools and handling precautions during assembly. Due to the high pressure of compressed gas filling, as well as the Oxygen cleaning require- ments of specific CGA standards, FasTest requires you to return gas connector products for mainte- nance and repair. Specific CGA standards require O2 cleaning before being returned to field service. Please contact Ratermann Mfg., Inc. for additional information. Standard Field Replacement Parts Maintenance of Safety Pins Safety pin operation must be inspected daily. With actuator handle connectors, the safety pin will protrude out during the filling cycle at approximately 150-psig. The safety pin retracts back into the connector body upon completion of the fill/vent cycle. The actuator handle will flip back easily when the connector is depressurized and the safety pin retracts. Failure to wait may cause damage to the safety pin. If the safety pin does not function properly, the pin assembly may require cleaning and lubrication. Or, if bent, the safety pin will require total replacement. Attempting to disconnect the connector while pressurized contributes to the bending of the safety pin. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISCONNECT ACTUATOR STYLE CONNECTORS WHILE UNDER PRESSURE. Figure 15. Example of a bad or damaged safety pin. When the pin is bent it will not retract. There is a noticeable indenta- tion on the sleeve from contact with pin. The handle is also bent from forcing actuation while the pin is protruding out Maintenance & Replacement Parts
