    The engine, and the intake and exhaust systems extending from the engine to the flame arrester and scrubber, are required to be explosion-proof and need to be maintained as such. This requires that joints formed in the connections of the various components be secured with close tolerance fits.

    On permissible diesel machines, either flanged metal-to-metal joints or flanges fitted with metal or metal-clad gaskets are used. The explosion-proof joints on the Wagner scoop are equipped with metal-clad gaskets. All joints are to be secured tightly in place at all times using fasteners and lock washers, or other locking devices. Joints are to be checked weekly with appropriately sized feeler gauges.
