Part No. 6-847703-00 Rev. C00
Installation
Manifold system will be shipped in more than
one carton. Total number of cartons will depend
upon number of cylinder connections. Main carton
contains the following items:
• Manifold control panel
• Wall mounting bracket (attached to
manifold control panel)
• Power supply assembly
• 3/4" source shut-off valve
• High-pressure reserve header inlet fittings
• Installation, Operation, and Service
Manual
Additional cartons contain right bank header
extensions, high-pressure reserve header
assembly and appropriate number of liquid
container and high-pressure cylinder pigtail
assemblies. As a standard, manifold’s right side
and reserve header cylinder inlets are on 5-inch
centers. High-pressure cylinders must be placed
in a double row "staggered" configuration. High-
pressure pigtails for gases other than oxygen are
24” length stainless-steel flexible type. Oxygen
pigtails are rigid copper, preformed to approximate
shape for connection to cylinders. Pigtails for all
liquid containers are 72” length flexible type. The
manifold is designed to mount directly to a wall, or
be freestanding floor mounted with addition of a
manifold control panel floor stand kit and an
appropriate number of header floor stand kits for
manifold’s right bank header extensions and
reserve header assembly (sold separately).

Precautions
WARNING:
• Tampering with gas specific connections shall
be prohibited. Do not alter, remove or modify
gas specific connections.
• Keep all manifold parts, tools and work
surfaces free of oil, grease and dirt. These
and other flammable materials may ignite
when exposed to high pressure oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
• Do not use chemicals, lubricants or sealants
unless specified in these instructions.
• Before connecting cylinder to manifold,
momentarily open and close cylinder valve to
blow out dirt and debris.
• After connecting cylinder to manifold, open
cylinder valve s-l-o-w-l-y to allow heat of
compression to dissipate.
• Do not use flame or “sniff” tests for leaks.
• Do not apply heat to any part of the manifold
system.
• Always secure high-pressure cylinders with
racks, straps, or chains. Unrestrained
cylinders may fall over and damage or break
off cylinder valve.
• Do not repeatedly bend, sharply bend, or
twist copper pigtails as damage to tubing
may occur.
• Do not bend flexible pigtails into a radius
smaller than 3”.
• After manifold wall bracket has been
mounted, one person alone should not
attempt to lift and hang the manifold cabinet.
• Do not put manifold into operation until
verified by a qualified person per NFPA 99 or
other local standard.
