<p class="MsoNormal">In my experience purchasing without a specification is a risky business model. I would caution specking out a cabinet with gas panels and controllers without solid knowledge of its exact use. HMNTL recently installed several new panels
and controllers for our outdated gas cabinets. A tools specification was changed after the panels was ordered and installed. The regulator and ancillary items cost us thousands to replace. Same gas but diluted.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your local codes may require ventilated storage cabinets for specific gas. If so, those codes would substantiate the need and cost.
