The Saddle Vent® Ventilation System

All ventilation procedures should comply with federal, state, and local regulations. Air quality should be tested prior to

ventilating a con ned space. A purge chart is provided on our website, www.airsystems.com, help assist in estimating the

approximate time needed to ventilate con ned spaces. Air quality should be tested continuously during con ned space

occupancy to ensure a stable atmosphere and worker safety because atmospheric conditions can change rapidly. Addi-

tional procedures and recommendations are available from federal, state, and local agencies. DO NOT operate these fan

unit in a vertical position or with the  ange or guards removed.

E8EXP, explosion proof in-line fan, Model No. SVF-10EXP, explosion proof contractors fan, Model No. CVF-8EXP or Air

Systems’ intrinsically safe pneumatic blower, Model No. SVB-A8.

Note: For con ned space ventilation in non-hazardous locations, use Air Systems’ con ned space ventilation kit, Model

SV-CUP. For hazardous locations use ventilation kit, Model SV-CUPCND along with one of the above explosion proof
