BI SERIES
specs BI Technical Data Sheet  BI Flow Curve  BI & BIHP Installation & Operation Manual
BI Series Automatic Manifold System:

The BI series manifolds are specifically designed to regulate and monitor compressed gases in high pressure cylinders (up to 3,000 PSIG). Automatic changeover from "service" to "reserve" side is accomplished without any interruption of service of change in line pressure. Line pressure will remain constant within a variation of + 2% throughout the changeover cycle. Each unit is precisely calibrated at the factory and the sealed case protects the unit from tampering and preserves proper adjustments. Manual resetting of the control valve is all that is required after changeover and cylinder replacement. A pressure switch contained within the cabinet (except fuel gas units) controls the cabinet lights; green indicating the "primary" bank is functioning and red announcing the changeover to the "secondary" bank has occurred. A circuit board in the power supply box isolates remote alarm terminals for hook-up to all remote alarms regardless of voltage (up to 3 amps 30 VDC or 2 amps 250 VAC).

Specifications:

  • All functional components (regulators, pressure switches, check valves, etc.) are enclosed in a tamper-resistant metal case.
  • Adjustable integral line regulator: 30-125 PSIG standard, (Acetylene: 0-15 LSIG, LPG: 0-45 PSIG) 50-200 PSIG BIHP Series.
  • Manifold outlet: 1/2" NPT male.
  • 24" Flexible Stainless Steel braided Teflon® lined pigtails with check valves. Check valve is at header end of pigtail except Oxygen. Note: Helium and Hydrogen manifolds are shipped with synthetic fiber braided pigtails. Vertical crossover and staggered styles include 24" and 36" pigtails.
  • Acetylene manifolds are shipped complete with a dry 300 SCFH flashback arrestor, a separate flash arrestor with check valve on each pigtail and connecting piping.
  • Individual header valves at each cylinder location (units with 4 cylinders or larger - all gases except Oxygen). Oxygen units shipped with check valve outlets in place of header valves to provide added safety from "heat of recompression".
  • System alarm lights with 115/24 VAC power supply box included for all gas services except fuel gases.
  • Headers are a single unit design constructed of 1/2" brass pipe and tees, silver-brazed at each connection, painted almond and labeled for the indicated gas service.
  • Maximum inlet pressure: 3,000 PSIG (20680 kPa).
  • Flow Capacity: up to 1,500 SCFH.
  • Special header configurations available upon request: U-Shaped, L-SHaped, Staggered, Crossover, and Vdertical Crossover. Dimensional sketch of installation required for U and L shaped designs.
