Caution
DValves must be neutralized one at a time.
DPut a valve in the container only after sodium in the preceding one has completely reacted with water.
Keep fire away from the container during the neutralization. The resulting hydrogen gas is highly explosive.
When the reaction has finished (there is no more generation of hydrogen gas), take the valves out of the container with large tweezers or the like.
NOTE
The reaction occurs when water enters the cavity in the valve. Hydrogen gas may be trapped inside the valve, temporarily blocking the water passage. In such a case, wait until hydrogen gas in released and remaining sodium reacts with water.
After the neutralization of sodium, water in the container contains sodium hydroxide and is highly alkaline. The water solution should be disposed of according to local regulations.
Caution
DDo not let the solution contact the eyes or the skin.
DShould it get in the eyes, immediately flush them with clean water thoroughly, and receive medical attention. When it contacts the skin, wash with ample amounts of clean water.
