Connecting the Gas Supply

Four pieces of gas supply tubing are supplied, allowing you to connect up to four gases to the
assembly.

1. Connect one end of the gas supply tubing to the gas supply (refer to

Rear Panel

Connections

if you need assistance).

2. Insert the other end of the tubing into one of the valve inlets on the Multigas assembly.

3. The faceplate of the valve assembly contains four sections; one for each gas inlet on the

assembly. Write the name of the gas in the applicable section. For example, label the inlet

for helium.

Selecting Gases

After you have the gases installed, use the knob to select the desired gas. Be sure to purge the
gas lines when you change gases.

Write the name of the gas
attached to the inlet.

Turn the knob to the desired gas.
