The MSDS they gave me said all material were non-flammable. Even Oxygen was
given as non-flammable, but now on second thoughts, I'm wondering if that
was an error. Shouldn't liquid oxygen in cylinders be flammable? Anyone
knows please let me know.

What is your MSDS tell you, all of the chemicals in your list are either
toxic and/or non-flammable, why the Class 1 Div 2?

I wasn't told this building had any classification until the questions came
from the electrical contractor. The building is a Nitric Acid Plant, and the
MSDS they gave me was for Nitrogen, Nitric Oxyde, Nitrogen Dioxyde and
Oxygen. They have to sort out whether this building is classified class 1
div.2 as per the electrical code. If it is, the riser still has to be within
the building, but the devices will have to comply with the electrical code.

Could ya enlighten us why you have a riser in a classified area?  Can be
done but highly unusual, no?

And what's with the removal of brass?

Subject: Sprinkler Tree

I had an electrical contractor commenting on a sprinkler tree, as following:

"The tamper switch and low flow switch are not rated for Class 1 Division 2
applications. Also, the brass body valve and gauges should also be
replaced".

Anyone know what he is talking about?

Tony
