However, in this case the two are\n\"manifolded\" together and shipped as one unit. The fire extinguisher and nitrogen cylinder proper shipping name and\nlabeling when each unit is shipped as a separate unit is not in question. When the two are shipped as one functional unit,\nfire extinguisher with nitrogen cartridge (used in extreme low temperature climates), there is a discrepancy as to the\nproper shipping name and label.\nThis was first called into question when the package was at a port being loaded on to a vessel; the port authority\nrequested that Komatsu properly label the package as UN1044 \"Fire Extinguisher, containing compressed gas,\" not as\nUN1066 \"Nitrogen, compressed.\" Upon ioternal investigation, Komatsu discovered that the fire extinguisher in question\nwas being received from the distributor labeled as UN1066 \"Nitrogen, compressed.\"\nKomatsu contacted the DOT Central Region Field Office to request an informal interpretation for the correct proper\nshipping name and label. Please see the attached response from Central Region Investigator, Laura Kwilinski. The Central\nRegion office was in agreement with the port authority that the proper shipping name and label is UN1044 \"Fire\nExtinguisher, containing compressed gas.\"\nKomatsu has complied with this decision for shipments going out. However, we have requested thalt the fire\nextinguishers be properly labeled when received from the supplier Tyco. Tyco is requesting a formal interpretation\nbefore they make this change. For more information on the history of this inquiry and specific details about the fire\nextinguisher please see the attached documents.\nIf you have further questions please contact Komatsu's Environmental Consultant, Kate Pastucha at 309-635-7417 or\nkpastucha@elmllc.com.\nSincerely,\nRoxanna Marchand\nManager, Orders & Distribution\n\n<<<PAGE 4>>>\n\nPage 1 of2\nNitrogen Cartridges Information\nBrohmer, Dennis\nto:\nkpastucha@komatsuna.com\n10/16/2013 01:49PM\nHide Details\nFrom: \"Brohmer, Dennis\" <dbrohmer@tycoint.com>\nTo: \"kpastucha@komatsuna.com\" <kpastucha@komatsuna.com>,\nDear Kate,\nThank you for contacting Tyco Fire Protection Products Technical Services Department. It was my\npleasure speaking with you this afternoon. Hopefully this e-mail will better assist you in reference to the\ncartridge information about the Ansul L T -20- cartridge. There is no data sheet specifically for\ncartridges. Cartridges are a component of the Ansul RED LINE Cmiridge Operated Fire Extinguisher.\nTyco Fire Protection Products only produces data sheets on complete finished product not individual\ncomponents.\nAnsul filled cartridges can last for many years as long as they are weighed each year and they weigh\nwithin the weight limitations stamped on the cartridge. Ansul N2 hand portable cmiridges are exempt\nfrom DOT re-hydrostatic testing due to the size and length of the cartridges, DOT CFR-49, Part 180.209\n(6) (b) (2).\nIf the Ansul N2 cartridge weighs within the tolerances specified according to the recharge manual, they\ncan go back into service without re-hydrostatic testing at any test year interval, as long as the cartridges\nare free of corrosion arid damage.\nIfthe weight is 1/4 oz. (7.1 g) for a Model 10 or 1/2 oz.(14.2 g) for Models 20/30 less than stamped on\nthe cartridge, replace with :full cmiridge. Cartridges which weigh more than 1/8 oz\n(3.6 g) over stamped weight should also be replaced.\nAnsul RED LINE Cartridge Operated Fire Extinguishers with C02 cartridges are UL Listed to -40\nDegrees F to+ 120 Degrees F. Ansul REDLINE Extinguishers with N2 cartridges are UL Listed to -65\nDegrees F to+ 120 Degrees F. UL's p.igh end temperature listings stop at 120 Degrees F.\nBelow is cartridge information you may want to keep for future reference.

The 3B1800 cylinder has C02 in the cylinder, and the\n3A2100 has nitrogen.\nhttps://mex07a.emailsrvr.com/owa!?ae=Item&a=Preview&t=IPM.Note&id=RgAAAAA... 10/23/2013\n·---··---\n-~--------------··--·\n\n<<<PAGE 7>>>\n\nPage 2 of2\nIt functions as one unit (or kit) and is assembled and ready to go when shipped. The manufacture states all you have\nto do is push one button, and the nitrogen or C02 is released into the main cylinder and the product is released.\nBecause of the way it is designed and functions, I would say that the proper shipping description would be UN1044,\nFire Extinguish~r, 2.2. or would it be better to say UN1044, Fire Extinguisher containing compressed gas, 2.2? I don't\nthink it should be 1066, Nitrogen or 1013, Carbon Dioxide unless the 3B or 3A cylinders were being shipped\nindividually.

For some users, these options have become the stan-\ndard for RED LINE extinguishers.\nCorrosion Resistant (CR) Models\n• In addition to the standard surface preparation procedures, the steel\nparts are primed using a zinc rich primer with a minimum zinc content\nof 90%.\n• The top coat is a polyester paint applied as a powder and oven cured.\nThe dry film is continuous and is a minimum thickness of 1.5 mils.\n• The hose couplings, fill cap, carrying handle, nozzle body, nozzle\nlever, nozzle tip and cartridge receiver push lever are black anodized\nfor added corrosion resistance.\n• The cartridge receiver body is painted with an epoxy paint for added\nprotection in corrosive environments.\nRing Pin (RP) Models\n• The ring pin, when inserted in the cartridge receiver, provides second-\nary protection against accidental actuation of the unit when the hose\nis not in place.\n• The operating instruction nameplate notes the removal of ring pin\nbefore actuation of the extinguisher.\nc;;;.;.~~-:~~ (L T) Model\"$)\n• The L T model is equipped with a nitrogen cartridge and cartridge\nreceiver which is listed and approved for operation in environments\nwith temperatures as low as -65 OF (-54 °C).\nHigh Flow (HF) Models\n• Extinguisher is equipped with a special nozzle and nozzle tip to maxi-\nmize agent flow rates.\n• Nozzle handle is painted red to differentiate it from standard flow\nextinguishers.\nNote: The high flow extinguishers have been designed for pressurized\nflammable liquids and pressurized gas fires and other special hazards\nwhere agent flow rate is crucial to extinguishment. (Reference NFPA 10,\nParagraph 5.5.1.1.1 and 5.5.1.1.2.) The high flow extinguishers can also\nextinguish other types of fire.\nMetal Cartridge Guard\n• Metal cartridge guard is available as a\ndistributor installed option on models 20 and\n30 lb extinguishers.\nRED UNE Model 5\nExtinguisher Features\n• Internal Cartridge\n• Compact\n• Dimensions -
