Luxfer Canada Ltd. is recalling 83 Unified Fine Pitch thread adapters, model EP-O-350-8-U5 (part number K0079), because they may be incompatible with certain gas cylinder valves. This incompatibility can cause a poor seal at the O-ring, leading to a hydrogen leak and potential fire. Luxfer is providing a free replacement adapter to all affected customers.
The O-ring recess in the adapter may not fit correctly with certain valves, reducing compression and allowing hydrogen gas to escape, which significantly increases the risk of a fire or explosion.
Luxfer will provide a replacement UFP adaptor free of charge.
Recalled due to O-ring recess incompatibility with certain valve types.
