DESCRIPTION
Each CO cylinder and valve assembly must be equipped
2

with a Discharge Head at installation to actuate the cylin-


der valve. The Discharge Head is assembled to the top of
the cylinder valve and contains a spring-loaded piston,
which, when actuated by CO pressure, is designed to
2

depress the main check in the valve and discharge the


contents of the cylinder. The piston provides the neces-
sary mechanical advantage to open the main check on
the valve. The transfer outlet is designed to mate with the
swivel adapter on the 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch Flexible Dis-
charge Hoses (P/Ns 252184 and 251821 respectively).
The Discharge Head also contains an integral Stop
Check whose function is to automatically prevent the loss
of CO during system discharge in the event that a cylin-

der is removed from the distribution piping.


The Grooved-Nut Discharge Head will allow discharge of
CO when the I-Valve is actuated by a control head. Pres-
