Section 4.0 Installation Practices
Manifolds
— Manifold stations or load centers which include multiport manifolds, regulators and shut-off
valves must always be installed in accessible spaces.
Branch Outlets
— When multiple outlets are branched out from a single main run of Parflex (CSST), each
branch is connected to the main using a tee fitting. Each tee can be located in a concealed space.

Modifying / Adding to Existing Piping Systems
Modifying Installed Systems
— Extension of existing tubing runs can be made to allow for additional appli-
ances provided sufficient capacity exists in the supply line. If accessible space is unavailable, the existing
tubing must be modified with the addition of a tee fitting in the concealed space behind the finished wall,
ceiling or floor board.
Concealed Fittings in Unfinished Rooms
— Fittings and tubing originally installed in unfinished rooms,
attics or basements can be concealed at a later date. Care must be taken to protect the newly concealed
fittings and tubing from damage and accidental penetration. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended
procedures for installation of protection components such as striker plates and metallic conduit.
