Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat or direct sunlight. Do not allow areas where cylinders are stored to exceed 125dF. Use a check valve or trap in the cylinder discharge line to prevent hazardous backflow. Cylinders should be stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Keep oil, grease and all flammables away. Do not store with flammable gases.
Open cylinder valves slowly.
Use only DOT or ASME coded vessels. Use a pressure reducing regulator when connecting cylinder to lower pressure piping or systems. Close valve after each use and when empty. Cylinders may not be refilled except by or with the consent of Liquid Carbonic. Reporting under SARA, Title III, Section 313 not required.
