What Are DOT 31FP Boxes?
DOT 31FP boxes are rigid fiberboard containers designed specifically for the air transport of oxygen generators and related aviation safety devices. Their construction helps ensure the packaging can withstand flame and heat exposure, reducing risk during shipment and supporting compliance with air-transport regulations. These boxes are required for many chemical oxygen generator models and are widely used across commercial aviation, aerospace, and maintenance operations.
How to Choose the Right DOT 31FP Box
Selecting the correct DOT 31FP container depends on your oxygen generator’s model, size, and required clearance.
When choosing a box, be sure to:
-
• Allow sufficient space for approved cushioning material
-
• Match interior dimensions to your PBE, PSU, or chemical oxygen generator
-
• Confirm any orientation or clearance requirements for your device
-
• Review 49 CFR 173.168 to verify applicability for your shipment
