5-Legend DOT Flip Placard System For Gas Transport (Class 2)

This is a great flip placard for most any gas application. With 4 U.S. DOT Class 2 Gas legends plus a blank page, you can use this for most standard loads. When your cargo changes, just flip to the appropriate placard. The placards included are:

• Inhalation Hazard, Class 2
• Oxygen, Class 2
• Flammable Gas, Class 2
• Non-Flammable Gas, Class 2
• Blank White

This system is built for durability in the harshest conditions. The white aluminum back plate has a baked-on polyester finish to resist fading. The legends are corrosion resistant aluminum panels and are held in place with four stainless steel spring clips (replacement clips are available as item # 03185). The base of this unit has rounded corners for easy handling and has a bright white enamel finish.

US DOT regulations require placarding on the front, back and sides of each vehicle. Therefore, most customers purchase this item in multiples of 4. They are priced and sold individually.

TECHNICAL NOTE 1: The US Department of Transportation's DOT Chart 15, Hazardous Materials Markings, Labeling and Placarding Guide is a terrific full-color compliance guide for placarding and labeling and is available for download from their web site.

TECHNICAL NOTE 2: The definitions for Class 2, Divisions 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 are found in 49 CFR 173.115. Assignment of hazard zones for Class 2 is found in 49 CFR 173.116.
