The Sentinel Vault™ is equipped with a two-valve nitrogen purge system designed to help protect stored firearms, ammunition, and metal components from oxidation and moisture exposure. The system consists of a nitrogen input valve and an automatic pressure-activated exhaust valve.
Follow the steps below to properly purge the vault:
1. Ensure the Vault Is Fully Closed
Before beginning the purge:
- Verify the perimeter gasket is clean and seated correctly
- Confirm all seven locking clamps are fully engaged
- Set the vault in a secured position
A proper seal ensures nitrogen remains inside while the exhaust valve operates as designed.
2. Locate the Nitrogen Input Valve
Identify the valve designed to connect to nitrogen canisters or a regulated nitrogen line. Ensure the valve and connection point are clean and unobstructed.
3. Connect the Nitrogen Source
Attach the nitrogen line or canister nozzle firmly to the input valve.
Do not open or activate nitrogen flow yet.
4. Begin Controlled Nitrogen Flow
Slowly open the nitrogen supply to introduce nitrogen into the vault. As nitrogen enters, gradually twist open the exhaust valve to allow internal air to escape. Adjust the valve opening so the flow remains steady—not rapid or turbulent.
You may hear a faint hissing sound as air exits. This indicates proper purging.
5. Continue Purging Until Desired Displacement
Most users purge for approximately 10–45 seconds, depending on nitrogen pressure and personal preference. A longer purge increases nitrogen saturation and reduces internal oxygen concentration.
6. Stop Flow and Disconnect
Turn off the nitrogen supply and depressurize the line before disconnecting it from the input valve. Once disconnected, fully close the exhaust valve to seal the vault.
7. Verify Seal
Ensure the exhaust valve is fully closed and that the vault remains locked and sealed.
The purge cycle is now complete.
Maintenance & Use Notes
- Repeat the purge any time the vault has been opened or moved into a high-humidity environment.
- Inspect valves periodically for dust, debris, or wear.
- This process supports long-term storage but does not replace cleaning, lubrication, or proper firearm care.
Safety & Compliance Notice
Nitrogen purging is optional and intended to assist with environmental protection. Always follow nitrogen handling best practices and all applicable laws regarding firearm and ammunition storage.
