F3VIPR -
SMALLER
PACKAGE,
SAME GAS
REN337 BOC’s innovative F3VIPR
provides improved efficiency,
safety and convenience. The
inbuilt variable integrated
pressure regulator (VIPR)
eliminates the hassle of acquiring,
fitting and maintaining a separate
regulator.
These higher pressure cylinders
are filled up to 300 Bar, providing
similar gas content to our G
cylinders in a smaller package.
The standard 5/8” gas inlet
means you can use your existing
hose and fitting (provided they
meet the relevant New Zealand
standards). The F3VIPR is now
available in pure argon and a
range of shielding gases.

Cylinder safety should always be at
the forefront of mind – here’s BOC’s
top tips for keeping everything safe
and in check.
CYLINDER
SAFETY:
TEN
STEPS TO
CYLINDER
SAFETY
Top 10 safety tips:
1 Read labels and Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) before use.
2 Store upright and use in well
ventilated, secure areas away from
pedestrian or vehicle thoroughfare.
3 Guard cylinders against being
knocked violently or being allowed
to fall.
4 Wear safety shoes, glasses
and gloves when handling and
connecting cylinders.
5 Always move cylinders securely
with an appropriate trolley. Take
care not to turn the valve on when
moving a cylinder.
6 Keep in a cool, well ventilated
area, away from heat sources,
sources of ignition and
combustible materials, especially
flammable gases.
7 Keep full and empty cylinders
separate.
8 Keep ammonia-based leak
detection solutions, oil and grease
away from cylinders and valves.
9 Never use force when opening or
closing valves.
10 Do not repaint or disguise
markings and damage. If
damaged, return cylinders to the
manufacturer immediately.
Cylinder valve safety
When working with cylinders
or operating cylinder valves,
ensure that you wear appropriate
protective clothing – gloves, boots
and safety glasses.
When moving cylinders, ensure
that the valve is not accidentally
opened in transit. Before operating
a cylinder valve: Ensure that the
system you are connecting the
cylinder into is suitable for the gas
and pressure involved. Ensure that
any accessories (such as hoses
attached to the cylinder valve, or
the system being connected to) are
securely connected. A hose, for
example, can potentially flail around
dangerously if it is accidentally
pressurised when not restrained at
both ends.
Stand to the side of the cylinder so
that neither you nor anyone else is
in line with the back of the cylinder
valve. This is in case a back-plus is
loose or a bursting disc vents.
