When ordering either new gas bottles or refills for existing bottles, please indicate on the Stores requisition whether the purchase is a lease purchase (bottles to be kept one year or longer) or a rental purchase (monthly billing for use of bottles).  To insure prompt delivery, please indicate the lease/rental number (found pre-printed on the bottle tag) on all refill orders.  Stock numbers, Descriptions, and Prices are listed below.

Rental charges will be billed monthly at the rate of $5.50.  The yearly lease rate of $43.00 provides a significant savings to the user department.  A $5.00 drayage charge will be added for each tank as it is filled or refilled.  A $7.00 drayage fee will be added per liquid tank, plus a one time $3.50 Hazardous Material change will be added per ticket.

Departments are requested to have empty bottles available for exchange when gas refills are delivered.  Failure to provide disconnected empty cylinders will result in additional rental charges being billed to the using department.  TO AVOID DAMAGE TO ONGOING EXPERIMENTS, STORES PERSONNEL HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO NOT DISCONNECT TANKS IN SERVICE.

Bottle leases cancelled after the beginning of the fiscal year (July 1) will be refunded on a prorated basis.  Leases cancelled after January 1 will not be credited.
