Service Line Requirements<br />
Chapter 2: Prerequisites<br />
All utility service lines should be ¼ inch O.D., brass, copper, or stainless<br />
steel, and equipped with an easily accessible shut-off valve. If the service<br />
line pressure exceeds 100 PSI, it must be equipped with a pressure regulator<br />
to reduce the line pressure.<br />
Note: The use of flammable gases or solvents should be avoided in the<br />
Biosafety Cabinet. Open flame in the cabinet will disrupt the laminar airflow<br />
in the cabinet and may damage the HEPA filters. Flammable gases or<br />
solvents may reach explosive concentrations in the cabinet or ductwork. If<br />
you feel that the procedure requires the use of an open flame or flammable<br />
materials, contact the institution’s safety office.<br />
The use of air or gases under high pressure should be avoided as they may<br />
seriously disrupt the airflow patterns in the cabinet.<br />
