Semi-Automatic Manifold Systems

5400
Title:
Semi-Automatic Manifold Systems
5400 Series

5400 series semi-automatic manifold system is designed to provide an uninterrupted gas supply. It consists of a primary bank and a reserve bank of cylinders. When the pressure in the primary cylinder bank reduces to the pre-set value, the changeover takes place automatically to provide continuous supply of gas from the reserve bank. Upon changing the cylinders, the regulators on both banks need to be re-adjusted in order for the changeover to occur automatically next time. The secondary regulator in the main pipeline stabilizes the outlet gas flow.

Features

• Open-style manifold

• Secondary regulator for consistant high flow delivery pressure to the pipeline

• Silver brazing on piping joints for maximum leak prevention

• System is designed to accommodate future expansion needs

• System is mounted with gas filters

• Unique changeover valve provides uninterrupted supply og gas from primary and reserve banks

• Pressure switch port available

• Headers have been tested to withstand high cylinder pressure

• Wall or floor mount available

Standard Constuction

• 24" flexible high pressure stainless steel braided pigtails with check valve. Rigid copper pigtails are standard when gas service is oxygen. Pigtails for acetylene models are equipped with dry flaskback arrestor.

• Gentec's high flow regulator series 155L (except for acetylene) & 155M-A.

• Carbon Dioxide manifold systems are provided with 155CG electric heating regulator. Siphon cylinder should not be used in the manifold system.
