GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Manifolds should be installed in accordance with guidelines stated by the National Fire Protection Association,
Compressed Gas Association, Occupation Safety Health Administration, and all applicable local codes. The carbon diox-
ide and nitrous oxide manifolds should not be placed in a location where the temperature will exceed 120° F (49° C) or
fall below 20° F (-7° C). The manifolds for all other gases should not be placed in a location where the temperature will
exceed 120° (49° C) or fall below -20° F (-29° C). A manifold placed in an open location should be protected against ad-
verse weather conditions, including direct rain, snow, and heavy moisture. During winter, protect the manifold from ice
and snow. In summer, shade the manifold and cylinders from continuous exposure to direct rays, heat of the sun, and
rain.
Leave all manifold protective covers in place until their removal is required for installation. This precaution will keep mois-
ture and debris from the piping interior, avoiding operational problems and system contamination.
All safety relief valves shall be piped/vented to the outside. Follow all local and applicable codes for piping systems.

Remove all protective caps from the pigtails and manifold. If left in place, the protective cap may ignite due
to heat of recompression in oxygen systems.
