The holes in the tubing do not come already punched with a Semi Assembled System. Instead, the installer must punch holes in the tubing to fit each system (punch tool available). This Semi Assembled option provides great flexibility as it can be used on any battery with the correct, or fewer, number of cells. It is most useful where there are a variety of battery types to convert in the field. We provide battery layout guides for installers to use.  

The installer snaps the string of Water Injectors onto the battery, sliding each Injector along the tubing until the layout is perfect. They then mark the tubing with a pen, moves each Injector aside, punches a hole (actually a pair of holes), and then returns the Injector to its marked location. The installer then trims away any excess tubing, attaches the end Injector and that’s it. 

The flame arrested Injector System adheres to the following Statute:

Cal/OSHA Statute T8-5185(n)

(l) Precautions shall be taken to prevent static discharge, open flames, sparks, short circuits, or electric arcs in areas where batteries are charged. When racks are used for support of batteries, they shall be made of materials nonconductive to spark generation or coated or covered to achieve this objective. Tools and other metallic objects shall be kept away from the top of uncovered batteries. Chargers shall be turned off when leads are being connected or disconnected.

(m) When charging batteries with vent caps, the vent caps shall be kept firmly in place to avoid electrolyte spray. The battery compartment cover(s) shall be open to dissipate heat.

(n) Facilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body shall be provided in accordance with Section 5162 unless the storage batteries are:

(1) equipped with explosion resistant or flame arrestor type vents; or

(2) located in a compartment or other location such as to preclude employee exposure.

What is the length of the Injector with the Flame Arrester Adapter?
2.2" extension into the vent well

What pressure does the water injector system operate at?
Operational pressure is between 25 and 35psi

How long will it take to fill my battery if I used a Water Injector system?
Filling a battery with this system can take approximately 15 – 30 seconds but this will depend on how low the electrolyte level is.

How can I tell if my battery needs topping up?
We recommend purchasing a Blinky so that you can check your electrolyte levels in a safe and fast way.

If I can’t see the electrolyte level how do I know when it is full?
The system will automatically shut off when full.
