Product Description

The PROTEGO® FA-E series of in-line deflagration flame arresters is designed with an eccentric housing to automatically drain condensate build up in the housing. Due to its eccentric design, the device can be installed in pipelines that run close to floors or walls and low points to prevent the build-up of condensate. When installing the deflagration flame arrester, make sure that the distance between potential ignition sources and the location of the installed device does not exceed the L/D ratio (pipe length/pipe diameter) for which the device was approved. According to EN ISO 16852, the installation limits are (L/D)max ? 50 for deflagration flame arresters of explosion groups IIA and IIB3 (NEC groups D to C) and (L/D)max ? 30 for explosion group IIC (NEC group B).
