6)  Attach the 4” exhaust hose from the blower to the in-house exhaust system.  For facilities without 

in-house exhaust, drop the exhaust hose to the floor, allowing the CO

2

 to dissipate away from 

personnel. 

Euthanex also offers a flat wall plate thimble for adapting to flat return grates. 

7) 

For hose supplied gas go to step #12

 

 

8)  Attach the heated regulator to the CO

2

 tank.  It is recommended that Teflon tape be used on the 

CO

2

 tank threads before attaching regulator.  Use a wrench to tighten the mounted regulator.  

Note:  The EA-285 Electrically Heated Regulator is required to operate the system.  Using a non-
heated regulator will likely result in frozen CO

2
