Once installed, this system cannot be removed without rendering the CGA outlet connection unusable. FEATURES AND BENEFITS • Easily installs on most existing threaded cylinder valves using standard hex wrench. • NPT Male connection supplied with factory applied PTFE thread sealant tape • Suitable for both Industrial and Medical Applications • CGA connections manufactured to industry standards • Zero External Leakage • Cleaned and Packaged for Oxygen Service • Optional Integral Anti-Backflow Check Valve • OEM Endorsed Valve Outlet Connections For both industrial and medical cylinders, an option to silver braze, welding or using connections that are integral to the valve has been added: threaded or socket connections may be “attached by other means to the valve body in a manner that prevents removal or would render the connection or valve body unusable if removal was attempted or accomplished.” INSTALLATION Note: Series TPG Connection Systems are supplied cleaned and packaged for use in Oxygen Systems. When utilized in an Oxygen application, proper procedures should be maintained to ensure that the complete installation is safe for Oxygen service. The Generant Series TPG connection system is supplied ready for installation into the 3/8” port on the outlet valve of a liquid cylinder. The system is a one-piece assembly consisting of a CGA fitting and clutch mechanism installed into a Stainless Steel-lock- ing bracket. The 3/8” NPT thread is supplied with PTFE tape already applied. To install the fitting, use the following procedure. 1. Ensure threaded end of valve body is clean and free of any debris. 2. Place end of locking bracket over end of outlet valve. 3. Tighten the CGA fitting finger tight. The formed square section of the locking bracket must be guided to slide over the valve body. 4. Insert an Allen wrench into the center of the CGA fitting and tighten the connection into the valve body thereby pulling the locking bracket over the valve body. 5. The connection is installed and ready for safe use. 6. If desired, pressurize connection and spray a liquid leak detector into the sight windows and look for leaks. PROPER REMOVAL FOR FITTING REPLACEMENT TOOLS REQUIRED • Hacksaw or Saws-All with approximately a 24 Teeth Per Inch Blade The Generant Series TPG connection system is designed to be installed once. Removal of the system will render the connection unusable. When removing fittings, wear proper safety equipment to protect eyes, face, hands and body. To replace the connection, use the following procedure. 1. Place blade of the saw in between the end of the bracket and the fitting body. Cut down completely through the fitting body. The gap will act as a guide for the blade. 2. Grasp the locking bracket and pull straight out over the remaining fitting stud. If necessary, gently tap the bracket off with a hammer. The clutch mechanism will fall apart allowing the locking bracket to be removed. 3. Place a pipe wrench on the remaining stud and remove the partial fitting, leaving the thread of the valve body intact for replacement with a TPG device. 4. The CGA fitting, locking bracket and clutch mechanism will be completely unusable.
