Description
Remote-manual actuation can be accomplished via cable or pneumatic releases. Cable operated pull boxes are available in various configurations. The pull boxes are connected to the control heads (located on the storage cylinders or stop valves) via 1/16 inch stainless steel cable. Corner pulleys are used to change direction of the cable routing. The cable should be routed in 3/8 inch schedule 40 pipe.
The USCG mandates that the maximum force required to operate the pull box may not be greater than 40 pounds, nor require a movement greater than 14 inches. No more than 15 corner pulleys and 100 feet of cable should be used with control head, P/N 81-979469-000 and 6 corner pulleys with any pneumatic control head. If other combinations of corner pulleys and lengths of cable are required, the 40 lb. maximum force and 14 inch maximum travel requirements must not be exceeded.
