Model 100 Series Type Y & Z Enclosure Purging Systems
our Bebco Legacy series…

As our legacy product line, Best Purging Systems Model 100 Series Units are UL Listed and are sized and designed to match the footprint and mounting flange patterns of the original Bebco Industries Model 100 and 1000 Series Type Y & Z Units, along with the Model 1000 Series “Bebco EPS” Units still currently produced by Pepperl+Fuchs.

Our Units are offered in a complete but simple range of sizes you’ll recognize and feature universal mounting flanges for all configurations.  The configurations now include Universal, Horizontal or Vertical Mounting options for positioning on any exterior surface of your protected enclosure, and the Units come with all essential hardware to complete installation.

As with our previous models, these units are built for rugged outdoor duty, but come fully assembled with exception to the mounting flange (shipped loose) and feature all essential labels including the enclosure warning nameplate required by code, along with a comprehensive installation, operation and maintenance instructions manual in full size and living color.

Best of all, these units come under the best possible terms, ship directly from our factory in 1-3 days, and come with a 2-year warranty.  As you’ll also discover by reading below, we also honor the industry’s only no-hassle no-charge return and exchange policy, just in case things go wrong or change on your end and what you get won’t work anymore.

 

Best Purging Systems Accessories fill vital on-hand supply gaps if needed to ensure fast, easy installation…
Just as we had in the past, Best Purging Systems is committed to also supply the little things that can save you time and effort during both procurement and installation.  Essential and most popular accessories include enclosure protection vents, connection fittings, extra warning nameplates and redundant regulators.  And while essential and most popular optional accessories are quoted with all Units, we welcome questions about what’s required any time, so you can be sure what you get is what you’ll need.

Best Purging Systems also provides vital support with no obligations…
Beyond selling products, as noted above, our core goal is to ensure safe and effective use of this technology.  We therefore offer and encourage you to reach out to us in any manner you choose if you have a question, want to resolve a debate on your end over requirements or just need some ideas about how to best interpret a code requirement in relation to your application.

New Product Announcements

It’s time for a whole new generation of Enclosure Purging & Pressurization Products.
Over the past 10 years, as we quietly served only a select group of clients, their comments began to focus us on 3 key factors:

•  Units should never be more difficult to install, start-up, operate or maintain than the protected equipment.
•  Units should be available in multiple configurations, suitable for the surrounding environment.
•  All components must be easy to maintain or replace and be readily available for immediate shipment.

Over the past four years, we’ve been very busy creating new products that meets those needs for simplicity, suitability and sustainability.

To begin, we’re very pleased to unveil a new concept in enclosure pressure relief.  

Oh, and by the way, there’s a lot more coming soon!

Our History, Mission & Commitment to You

Some people think our history only spans back 40 years, to the formation of Bebco Industries Enclosure Protection Systems Division, but it actually began in 1976!

Best Purging Systems Corporation was established in 2013 as a dba under the Bebco Environmental Control Units Corporation.  “BECC”, as it was known, was established only a few months before acquisition of the D&M Instruments Purging and Pressurization Unit Product Line.  The D&M Line served as an excellent addition to the Hazardous Location UL listed HVAC Products BECC had acquired earlier that same year from Bebco Industries.

As the common thread, the then acting CEO of Bebco Industries, Incorporated and the owner and CEO of Bebco Environmental Controls was one in the same man – Mr. Mike Baucom, the original founder of Bebco’s Enclosure Protection Systems Division in 1985.

However, Mike began building rudimental purge units by the score in Bebco’s panel shop at 15 years old, in 1976!  That experience coupled with years of building purged enclosures led him to later form the “EPS” Division which was subsequently acquired by the Pepperl+Fuchs Corporation from Bebco Industries, Incorporated in 2003.

At Mike’s insistence, Best Purging Systems Corporation remained quiet over the past 10 years, working primarily to serve the clients who had become extremely loyal to the D&M Product Line.  He and his team used that time to learn about trending needs from you, our client, whom we feel matters the most. 

Now, after many years, both Bebco Industries, Incorporated and the sale of Bebco Environmental Controls Corporations HVAC products have ceased.  In addition, recent developments in this industry have caught Mike’s attention, which has never fully turned away from enclosure purging and pressurization technology.  You can learn more about Mike’s concerns and participate in a vital opinion poll by visiting the Technical Standards Development Section below.

Our mission is to ensure the safe and effective use of enclosure purging and pressurization technology.
We therefore participate avidly in Standards development and provide consultation and NFPA 496 code interpretation to anyone asking for assistance with no-obligation whatsoever.  We then produce a premier line of America’s most popular, simple and efficient enclosure pressurization and purging solutions to finance that mission.

We now provide a complete range of NFPA 496 UL Listed Type Y & Z units, along with a complete range of accessories.  As noted above in our New Products Section, we’re also adding a line of spare parts and upgrade kits for our legacy products, along with an innovative new line of products based on your continuing feedback.  With your ongoing input and our unwavering commitment to excellence, you’ll be sure to receive the best products possible!

Most importantly, here at Best Purging Systems, we’re committed to providing you with exceptional service…
It begins with immediate live response to phone calls, texts, chat requests and emails. We use no automated answering or ai chat attendants and you will never be asked to select “1” for English.  Best of all, you’ll always get a prompt reply to your questions, quotation requests or any need for technical support at any phase of our product’s service life.

Testimonials – Our Clients say what makes us Best…

Sometimes, we don’t need to say a thing…

“Holy crap y’all rock.   Where’s the thingy where I do the customer service survey……?    😃 11/10 stars!”

Technical Standards Development

Dateline 2/10/26 – Discussions scheduled to replace NFPA 496 with new UL Standard
The Underwriters Laboratory Technical Harmonization Committee THC 79-0003 recently announced an In-Person Only meeting on March 4th, 2026 in Greenwood Indiana.  The Chairperson has also issued an agenda stating their primary objective shall be to discuss a Class/Divison annex to UL Standard 60079-2, which would create a path to replace NFPA 496 as the Nationally Recognized ANSI Standard.  Discussions will also include a review of efforts already assigned to achieve this goal in the previous meetings, where a concensensus of members in attendance have shown support for this potential change to our US Safety Standards.

BACKGROUND:
UL Standard 60079-2 is a publication overseen by THC 79-0003, and is based primarily on the International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC) Standard 60079-2.  That IEC Standard s being utilized by the UL THC Committee as a template to create the new UL Standard, which the Committee terms as a Harmonized Standard.    In a related matter, the Chairperson of the THC 79-0003 Committee at UL has also recently made a motion as a member of the NFPA EECA Committee overseeing NFPA 496 to consider removing all product related requirements from that Standard, to convert it into what would become an installation guide.

To ensure accuracy, and considering our Stakeholder position on this UL Committee, we’re fact-checking all above statements, and will make any corrections necesary to present empirical facts only. 

In the meantime, you’re welcome to submit your opinion, questions or comments to our CEO in regard to the matters above by simply clicking the following image to get started.
He respects and values your opinions and will use them to represent both Best Purging Systems and you at the upcoming UL Meeting.

We’re listening, and want to know what you think!

The only required personal information fields are your full name and email address.  Submissions are limited to one per person, as discreetly but securely validated by your IP address.

Did You Know?

We wrote the first book on purging technology years ago, back in 1993!

Our CEO began building very rudimental purge units for the Gulf Coast Region in 1975, and formed the first stand-alone Division of Bebco Industries, Incorporated – a company that manufactured stand-alone purging systems in 1985.

He was also a voting member of an NFPA 496 Subcommittee for 15 years, and contributed significant content to improve that Standard.

He also wrote America’s most definitive guide for purging technology, and carefully trained our team to understand and share his knowledge.  The guide explained all purging concepts and requirements in layman terms, and featured many insightful illustrations.  It became so highly revered, its images and text are still widely copied and used to this day to best explain the safe application of purging!

So how does that benefit you?

The answer is simple. Who’s best equipped to help you understand NFPA 496 code requirements and the principals behind them?   Without doubt, it’s the people who helped to write them! Get the best advice and guidance from the original founders of this technology now, by giving us a call or clicking our chat button.

Watch for a new version of that Guide, coming soon….

Best Purging Systems Model 100 Series Type Y & Z Enclosure Purging Systems
our Bebco Legacy series…

As our legacy product line, Best Purging Systems Model 100 Series Units are UL Listed and are sized and designed to match the footprint and mounting flange patterns of the original Bebco Industries Model 100 and 1000 Series Type Y & Z Units, along with the Model 1000 Series “Bebco EPS” Units still currently produced by Pepperl+Fuchs.

Our Units are offered in a complete but simple range of sizes you’ll recognize and feature universal mounting flanges for all configurations.  The configurations now include Universal, Horizontal or Vertical Mounting options for positioning on any exterior surface of your protected enclosure, and the Units come with all essential hardware to complete installation.

As with our previous models, these units are built for rugged outdoor duty, but come fully assembled with exception to the mounting flange (shipped loose) and feature all essential labels including the enclosure warning nameplate required by code, along with a comprehensive installation, operation and maintenance instructions manual in full size and living color.

Best of all, these units come under the best possible terms, ship directly from our factory in 1-3 days, and come with a 2-year warranty.  As you’ll also discover by reading below, we also honor the industry’s only no-hassle no-charge return and exchange policy, just in case things go wrong or change on your end and what you get won’t work anymore.

 

Best Purging Systems Accessories fill vital on-hand supply gaps if needed to ensure fast, easy installation…
Just as we had in the past, Best Purging Systems is committed to also supply the little things that can save you time and effort during both procurement and installation.  Essential and most popular accessories include enclosure protection vents, connection fittings, extra warning nameplates and redundant regulators.  And while essential and most popular optional accessories are quoted with all Units, we welcome questions about what’s required any time, so you can be sure what you get is what you’ll need.

Best Purging Systems also provides vital support with no obligations…
Beyond selling products, as noted above, our core goal is to ensure safe and effective use of this technology.  We therefore offer and encourage you to reach out to us in any manner you choose if you have a question, want to resolve a debate on your end over requirements or just need some ideas about how to best interpret a code requirement in relation to your application.

New Product Announcements

It’s time for a whole new generation of Enclosure Purging & Pressurization Products.
Over the past 10 years, as we quietly served only a select group of clients, their comments began to focus us on 3 key factors:

•  Units should never be more difficult to install, start-up, operate or maintain than the protected equipment.
•  Units should be available in multiple configurations, suitable for the surrounding environment.
•  All components must be easy to maintain or replace and be readily available for immediate shipment.

Over the past four years, we’ve been very busy creating new products that meets those needs for simplicity, suitability and sustainability.

To begin, we’re very pleased to unveil a new concept in enclosure pressure relief.  

Oh, and by the way, there’s a lot more coming soon!

A small but very efficient solution, that fits in the palm of your hand…

Key Features:

DIRECT MOUNT BASE
– eliminates your need for a bulky conduit hub

PASSIVE MAGNETIC ATTENUATION
– allows you to mount the vent in a vertical or horizontal orientation on any side of the enclosure

CONCEALLED ATTENUATION CONTROL
– gives you a secure and precise means to easily adjust valve lift-off or cracking pressure in vertical or horizontal position

FULLY SEALED FLOAT VALVE
– conserves your protective gas supply and prevents backflow – the entry of hazardous area gases surrounding your enclosure

.002 INCH 316 STAINLESS STEEL DOUBLE LAYER HIGH FLOW SPARK ARRESTING ELEMENT
– prevents the escape of sparks per code while creating no more than 5 inches of back-pressure in your enclosure

OPTIONAL .05 INCH NON-CONDUCTIVE INTERIOR MOUNT PARTICLE BARRIER
– prevents the escape of burning materials from your enclosure per code while also creating a non-conductive barrier around the vent inlet

OPTIONAL SIDE MOUNT ADAPTER
– permits right angle mounting on any side of your enclosure in a compact ergonomic manner

ANODIZED, NICKLE PLATED or COMPOSITE BODY, CAP & ADAPTER MATERIAL OPTIONS
– allows you to select the most suitable vent device for your passive, caustic or extremely corrosive atmospheres

OPTIONAL NIPPLE & HUB or SCREW MOUNTING HARDWARE with DIE CUT GASKET 
– allows you the option of sealing your vent directly to the enclosure surface with a close nipple and lock ring or screw hardware

Introducing the Model UXPV-2

First in a series of new product releases scheduled for this summer.

Our History, Mission & Commitment to You

Our history spans back 40 years, to the formation of Bebco Industries Enclosure Protection Systems Division.
Best Purging Systems Corporation was established in 2013 as a dba under the Bebco Environmental Control Units Corporation.  “BECC”, as it was known, was established only a few months before acquisition of the D&M Instruments Purging and Pressurization Unit Product Line.  The D&M Line served as an excellent addition to the Hazardous Location UL listed HVAC Products BECC had acquired earlier that same year from Bebco Industries.   As the common thread, the then acting CEO of Bebco Industries, Incorporated and the owner and CEO of Bebco Environmental Controls was one in the same man – Mr. Mike Baucom, the original founder of Bebco’s Enclosure Protection Systems Division in 1985.  As some people may not know, given the time that has passed, that Division was acquired by the Pepperl+Fuchs Corporation from Bebco Industries, Incorporated in 2003.

At Mike’s insistence, Best Purging Systems Corporation remained quiet over the past 10 years, working primarily to serve the clients who had become extremely loyal to the D&M Product Line.  He and his team used that time to learn about trending needs from you, our client, whom we feel matters the most.  However, as time has passed, operations of both Bebco Industries, Incorporated and the sale of Bebco Environmental Controls Corporations HVAC products have ceased.  In addition, recent developments in this industry have caught Mike’s attention, which has never fully turned away from enclosure purging and pressurization technology.  You can learn more about Mike’s concerns and participate in a vital opinion poll by visiting the Technical Standards Development Section below.

Our mission is to ensure the safe and effective use of enclosure purging and pressurization technology.
We therefore participate avidly in Standards development and provide consultation and NFPA 496 code interpretation to anyone asking for assistance with no-obligation whatsoever.  We then produce a premier line of America’s most popular, simple and efficient enclosure pressurization and purging solutions to finance that mission.

We now provide a complete range of NFPA 496 UL Listed Type Y & Z units, along with a complete range of accessories.  As noted above in our New Products Section, we’re also adding a line of spare parts and upgrade kits for our legacy products, along with an innovative new line of products based on your continuing feedback.  With your ongoing input and our unwavering commitment to excellence, you’ll be sure to receive the best products possible!

Most importantly, here at Best Purging Systems, we’re committed to providing you with exceptional service…
It begins with immediate live response to phone calls, texts, chat requests and emails. We use no automated answering or ai chat attendants and you will never be asked to select “1” for English.  Best of all, you’ll always get a prompt reply to your questions, quotation requests or any need for technical support at any phase of our product’s service life.

Testimonials – Our Clients say what makes us Best…

Sometimes, we don’t need to say a thing…

Technical Standards Development

Dateline 2/10/26 – Discussions scheduled to replace NFPA 496 with new UL Standard
The Underwriters Laboratory Technical Harmonization Committee THC 79-0003 recently announced an In-Person Only meeting on March 4th, 2026 in Greenwood Indiana.  The Chairperson has also issued an agenda stating their primary objective shall be to discuss a Class/Divison annex to UL Standard 60079-2, which would create a path to replace NFPA 496 as the Nationally Recognized ANSI Standard.  Discussions will also include a review of efforts already assigned to achieve this goal in the previous meetings, where a concensensus of members in attendance have shown support for this potential change to our US Safety Standards.

BACKGROUND:
UL Standard 60079-2 is a publication overseen by THC 79-0003, and is based primarily on the International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC) Standard 60079-2.  That IEC Standard s being utilized by the UL THC Committee as a template to create the new UL Standard, which the Committee terms as a Harmonized Standard.    In a related matter, the Chairperson of the THC 79-0003 Committee at UL has also recently made a motion as a member of the NFPA EECA Committee overseeing NFPA 496 to consider removing all product related requirements from that Standard, to convert it into what would become an installation guide.

To ensure accuracy, and considering our Stakeholder position on this UL Committee, we’re fact-checking all above statements, and will make any corrections necesary to present empirical facts only. 

In the meantime, you’re welcome to submit your opinion, questions or comments to our CEO in regard to the matters above by simply clicking the following image to get started.

Did You Know?

We wrote the first book on purging technology years ago, back in 1993!

Our CEO began building very rudimental purge units for the Gulf Coast Region in 1975, and formed the first stand-alone Division of Bebco Industries, Incorporated – a company that manufactured stand-alone purging systems in 1985.

He was also a voting member of an NFPA 496 Subcommittee for 15 years, and contributed significant content to improve that Standard.

He also wrote America’s most definitive guide for purging technology, and carefully trained our team to understand and share his knowledge.  The guide explained all purging concepts and requirements in layman terms, and featured many insightful illustrations.  It became so highly revered, its images and text are still widely copied and used to this day to best explain the safe application of purging!

So how does that benefit you?

The answer is simple. Who’s best equipped to help you understand NFPA 496 code requirements and the principals behind them?   Without doubt, it’s the people who helped to write them!
