Valve protection caps for full or partially full cylinders designed to accept caps must always be in place and hand-tight except when these cylinders are in process or connected for use.

Please do not switch caps since not all our cylinders use the same cap threads. A cracked or dented cap should be brought to our attention. Always use suitable tools in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or ask us for guidance to remove stuck caps. Inserting tools through the vent hole can lead to valve damage or the inadvertent activation of the valve, releasing cylinder contents. Such releases can lead to dangerous situations including fire, oxygen-deficient atmospheres, or toxic atmospheres.

Remember to always have cylinders secured when they are in-use and without their caps.
