Emergency Kit "B" - Chlorine Institute Emergency Kit for US DOT 106A500X Ton Containers

The KIT-B – Chlorine Institute Emergency Kit is essential for firefighters and emergency responders dealing with hazardous chlorine leaks. Specifically designed for US DOT 106A500X ton containers, this kit provides the necessary equipment to safely and effectively contain leaks, ensuring the safety of personnel and the surrounding environment.

Features

• US DOT‑Approved Capping Device: KIT‑B is the only U.S. DOT‑approved capping device that can be applied to a leaking chlorine ton container and shipped legally over the road.
• Designed for DOT 106A500X Ton Containers: Specifically engineered for concave‑head chlorine one‑ton containers built to U.S. DOT 106A500X specifications.
• Comprehensive Leak‑Control Tools:
  • Device #12: Designed to contain leaks around ton‑container valves.
  • Device #14: Uses the same bar assembly (28C) as Device #12 and does not contact the fuse plug.
  • Device #9: Patching device for sealing side‑wall leaks
• Color‑Coded Components: All items labeled with part numbers and color‑coded yellow for clear identification.
• Durable Storage: All components organized in a rugged polyethylene toolbox for protection and transport.
• Redesigned in 2014: Updated design enhances usability and consistency with Chlorine Institute specifications.

What Is It?

KIT‑B is an officially recognized Chlorine Institute emergency response kit designed to safely contain leaks from chlorine one‑ton containers. It includes specialized devices, patching tools, and accessories engineered to stop leaks at valves, fuse‑plug areas, and container side walls. As the only U.S. DOT‑approved ton‑container capping device, it ensures safe stabilization and lawful transport of a compromised chlorine container.

How Is It Used?
