4 With this new product update and extension of our Gas MANIFOLD SYSTEMS and ACCESSORIES , Superior Products offers an expanded line of compressed gas manifolds , regulators, pigtails and Products gas MANIFOLD SYSTEMS provide a reliable and safe way for large volumes of gas to be distributed. MANIFOLD selection begins with choosing the type of MANIFOLD or control section. Superior Products offers header manifolds in a variety of custom configurations and options. Header manifolds include simplex, duplex, modular and simple duplex models. Partner with a MANIFOLD regulator and flexible pigtails for a complete Products semi-automatic manifolds give three options for uninterrupted gas service.

5 All semi-automatic manifolds switch from depleted bank to full bank automatically and can be used for compressed gas or gas withdrawal from liquid dewars. All products in this catalog as designed for standard industrial gases and meet or exceed the specifications on the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). All assemblies are tested to at least times working assistance please contact Superior Products customer service department at Superior Simplex MANIFOLD system is designed to provide a single source of supply from one cylinder bank.

6 This MANIFOLD is typically used as a high pressure back-up system for liquid or bulk tank SYSTEMS in both industrial and medical applications. The simplex MANIFOLD has a master shut-off valve with a single row of cylinders. Each header consists of 1/2 pipe, 1/2 tees or crosses, header valves or inlet adaptors with check valves, master shut-off valve, end plug and mounting brackets. The end has a plug that allows for future expansion. The outlet regulator is ordered separately based on the required delivery pressure. SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum inlet pressure: 3000 PSIG MANIFOLD outlet: NPS-RH or NPS-LH 1/2 brazed pipe & tees for maximum leak protection MANIFOLD regulator sold separately (see page 9) Pigtails must be ordered separately (see page 9)GMSM-HVR-580-02 All Superior manifolds are expandable to meet changing application requirements.

7 Header extensions are shipped ready for addition to existing manifolds . Unit includes 1/2 piping, 1/2 tees, header valves or inlet adaptors with check valves and a mounting bracket. The end has an NPT plug that allows for future expansion. All pigtails for Superior manifolds must be ordered separately.

10 Simplex MANIFOLD headers are a single unit design manufactured from free cutting brass bar stock. This design eliminates all brazed joints. Each unit is tested to times working pressure and cleaned for oxygen service per MANIFOLD headers are shipped complete with master valve and CGA inlet connections. Headers are ordered in 2 or 3 cylinder configurations and connected together to arrive at the desired number of cylinders. Four and six cylinder version are also available in a crossover arrangement. All modular headers feature 5 center-to-center spacing between inlets.
