Subject: Flammable Storage Cabinets
We have 45 gallon flammable storage cabinets with clogged flash
arrestors, so they're not exhausting properly (or at all in some cases).
I spoke with the manufacturer who informed me that the arrestors are
not replaceable and should be cleaned with a mild detergent solution
every 6 months.
This has proven to be a challenge in the past because the cabinet
design makes the arrestors difficult to access and the recommended
detergent solution is not effective.
Has anyone experienced any similar situations or have any advice for
cleaning and maintaining the arrestors and/or cabinets?
Thanks in advance,
Denise
