Gas Cabinet Dimensions and Options
Model 1190 and 1170 Series

Description
Adjustable Cylinder Shelf (see table for part number) — mounted on the Unistrut TM tracks. The shelf provides a convenient means of installing small cylinders. Perforations in the shelf allow cabinet air to sweep around the entire cylinder.
Fusible Link (see table for part numbers) — installed in the center of the cabinet door. Offers immediate response in the event of a fire. Once the heat melts the fusible metal, a guillotine damper blocks the inlet air supply.
Cylinder Scales — recommended for use with all liquefied gases. Provides the weight of contents remaining in the cylinders. Manual and electronic cylinder scale models are available.
Gas Detection System — a gas detection system installed in your cabinet can provide you with an early warning to avoid a hazard or reportable discharge from developing. Matheson Gas Products' Custom Gas Detection Systems provide the needed flexibility for a wide range of sampling/detection situations, and remedial action capability.
