be prepared to provide the model number and serial number of the equipment involved in addition to some
details regarding its application. This would include inlet and outlet pressures, flow rate, environmental
conditions, and gas service.
SAFETY
Carefully read and comply with these instructions before installing or operating any high pressure gas
manifold. These manifolds are designed, manufactured, and tested to conform to industry standards for
safety for high pressure gas manifolds for a maximum inlet pressure of 3000 PSI (200 bar) on the reserve
(right) side. The primary (left) side is rated up to 600 PSI (40 bar).
Always observe the following safety practices:
√
Store cylinders with valve caps screwed on and cylinders chained to a supporting wall or column.
√
Handle cylinders carefully and only with valve caps screwed on. The cap will prevent the cylinder valve from
breaking off at the top of the cylinder if the cylinder is accidentally dropped or falls over. The cap also protects
the cylinder valve from damage to screw threads, which could cause leaky connections.
√
Keep all cylinders away from any source of high temperature (not over 120° F, 50° C) or possible fire
hazards. High-pressure gas contained in a closed cylinder becomes increasingly dangerous when exposed to
high temperature because pressure increases and the strength of the cylinder decreases.
√
No smoking should be permitted near oxygen, nitrous oxide, flammable gases, or flammable mixtures or in
areas where cylinders are stored.
√
Where oxygen or nitrous oxide is used, the manifold and cylinders must be kept clean. No oil, grease, or
combustible substances should come in contact with oxygen or nitrous oxide storage or handling equipment.
Such materials in contact with oxygen or nitrous oxide are readily ignitable and when ignited, will burn
intensely.
√
Never lift gas cylinders with a magnetic lifting device.
√
Never use an open flame when leak testing.
√
Always open valves slowly when high-pressure gases are being used.
√
Always be sure that a cylinder contains the correct gas before connecting it to any manifold.
√
Always leak-test any manifold or distribution pipeline before using.
√
Always be sure that the gas in a pipeline is the correct gas for the intended use.
