Manifold Operating Procedures
Warning:
High Pressure Oxygen may present a Hazard. Always follow proper operating
procedures, and open valves slowly. Rapid pressurization may result in personal injury.
Safety glasses and hearing protection are required when venting oxygen under high
pressure.
Attaching and filling a K-type cylinder:
With all valves initially closed, connect the steel whip between a manifold valve and a
cylinder valve, and tighten both connections using a 1 1/8” wrench. Slowly open the
cylinder valve first, and the manifold valve second. Fully open both valves, backing off
¼ turn to prevent the valve from sticking in the open position and appearing closed. At
this point, the gauge on the top of the manifold will read the pressure contained within
the cylinder. Now, cylinder filling can be initiated by starting the machine, (see start-up
procedures).
Detaching a K-type cylinder:
Close each of the appropriate manifold and cylinder valves.
Warning:
Oxygen under high-pressure is present. The use of safety glasses and hearing
protection is required. Slowly disconnect the steel whip from the cylinder valve, using a
1 1/8” wrench. Be aware of the venting of oxygen under high pressure. If difficulty is
encountered while attempting to remove the steel whip, open the appropriate manifold
valve, then slowly open the bleed valve to vent the pressure. This will allow easier
removal of the steel whip. Ensure both manifold and bleed valves are closed after
venting pressure.
Attaching and filling an M-type cylinder:
It is intended that M-type cylinders be filled from K-type cylinders. With all valves
closed, attach the steel whip between the M and K type valves (see Attaching and filling
a K-type cylinder outlined above). Slowly open the K-type Cylinder valve, followed by
the M-type cylinder valve. Allow pressure to vent from the K-type into the M-type.
When the desired pressure is reached in the M-type cylinder, close both valves.
Warning:
Oxygen under high-pressure is present. The use of safety glasses and hearing
protection is required. Disconnect the steel whip following the procedure outlined in
Detaching a K-type cylinder above.
