Q: Do I have to use a heater with a Nitrous Oxide or Carbon Dioxide manifold?

A: We strongly recommend that you use a heater with these cold gases for 2 reasons.  Without the heater your flow is only 35 SCFH, with the heater it is 500 SCFH. A manifold without a heater also voids warranty on Western manifolds due to the cold temperature interaction with the regulators.
