Luxfer Gas Cylinder Adapters Recalled Due to Hydrogen Leak and Fire Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the recalled Unified Fine Pitch (UFP) thread adapter by checking for model number EP-O-350-8-U5 and part number K0079.
