only. Adapters should never be used on a permanent basis.

Containers.
GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES
Under no circumstances should liquid product be allowed into the hoses or manifold.
Consult the cylinder distributor for the proper use of cylinders and for any restrictions on their use (such as flow
rate and temperature requirements).
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 reduce the chance that the cylinder
valve will break off 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.
All manifolds used with flammable gases should be provided with approved flashback arrestors to stop any burning
gas in the pipeline from getting back to the manifold or cylinders.
No smoking should be permitted near oxygen, nitrous oxide, any other oxidizer, 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 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.
Always close all cylinder valves before disconnecting cylinders from a manifold.
Always remove all empty cylinders from a manifold before connecting full cylinders.
Always test cylinders to be sure the cylinders are full before connecting to a manifold.
Always secure cylinders, whether in use or in reserve.
All gas distribution piping systems must meet the appropriate industrial standards for the intended service and must
be thoroughly cleaned before using. For the United States, some applicable safety rules and precautions are listed
