Do not use this product in explosive atmospheres containing acetylene gas.
analyzers and electro/pneumatic/hydraulic equipments are
installed within an explosion proof enclosure. The flame
arrestors provide through-the-wall connections for NPT and
Metric style threads.
Caution: Before installing, make sure you are compliant
with area classifications, failure to do so may result in bodily
injury, death and property damage. Do not attempt
installation until you are familiar with the following
procedures. All installatio n must comply with the applicable
Electrical Code.
Make sure that the circuit is De-energized before starting
installation or maintenance.
Verify that the installation is grounded . Failur e to ground will
create electrical shock hazards, which can cause serious
injury and or death.
Important: Please read these instructions carefully
before installing or maintaining this equipment. Good
electrical practices should be followed at all times and this
data should be used as a guide only.
Pressure Drop and Flow Rate Chart
1.) For thru-wall connection of 1/2-14 NPT, gauge the
opening from flush to 2 turn pass the notch.
1.) For thru-wall connection of M 20x1.5 6g , gauge the
opening with GO and NO-GO gauges for proper fit.

Installation and Maintenance:
Before installing, apply lubricant (such as Killark’s LUBG-6 thread lubricant) to the threads. Install fitting in the proper
threaded opening and wrench tighten.
DO NOT use wrench or socket on the end hex-nut for removal; use the mid section hex-body.
If the pressure drop or flow rate is not reasonably within the above data, the flame arrestor element within the unit has
been partially clogged with fluid contaminant. To function properly the flame arrestor must be replaced.
