Should such repair or replacement become neces- sary, please contact Amico Corporation or their distributors. All manifolds should not be repaired, or altered without prior written approval of Amico Corporation or it’s distributors. Failure to comply will void all warranty on the manifold. -
Page 4: Introduction
E c o n o m y M a n i f o l d INTRODUCTION The Amico Economy Medical Gas Manifold incorporates the basic necessities for the distribution and monitoring of medical gases. The manifold has been designed to provide user flexibility and reliability. -
Page 5: Description Of The Manifold
The ALERT-2 economy manifold is divided into (2) main sections: COMMON TO ALL ECONOMY MANIFOLDS PRESSURE REGULATORS There are two types of regulators in the Amico manifold: the operating pressure regulator and the line pressure regulator. Both types conform to NFPA 99. . 1. Operating (Source) Regulators There are two operating regulators on every manifold, one for the left bank and one for the right bank. -

System” which encompasses many types of sources of supply to nonflammable medical gas piping systems. As such, the Amico manifold is comprised of two banks of cylinders which alternately supply the pipeline, each having various control components. When the primary bank is exhausted, the pressure drops as the secondary takes over. -

SAFETY FEATURES Gas Service Identification Amico manifolds are clearly labelled for the gas that they are intended to be used for. A large nameplate, indicating the appropriate gas is attached on the cabinet door. The two pipes extending from the top of the manifold, one for line pressure relief and one for the operating pressure relief, are labelled. - Page 8 When the medical gas piping system has been tested in accordance with Part 4-5 Testing of NFPA 99, the manifold can then be connected to it. The outlet pipes leading from the Amico economy manifold should be connected to their respective pipeline system connections. The connection to the relief valves should be made with a union (supplied by others) to facilitate change if required.

Page 9: Testing For Leakage
ARE NOT suitable for leak testing due to their inherent dangerous properties. Leak testing must be performed using either oil-free dry air or oil-free dry nitrogen. In the case of either a Medical Air or a Nitrogen Amico manifold, the actual service gas may be used to perform the leak tests as follows:... -
