P/N 283904, P/N 283905 AND P/N 283906
A valve outlet adapter connects the cylinder valve outlet to
the discharge piping when a flexible discharge hose is not
used (see Figure 3-25 and Table 3-14).
Note: 3" valve cylinders are equipped with a roll-groove
outlet. Use a standard groove-groove connection
in lieu of a valve outlet adapter.

3-3.7.3 CHECK VALVE, 1/4-INCH, P/N 264985
Check Valves are installed in sections of piping in main/
reserve systems to prevent the actuation of the reserve
system when the main system is discharged.
1/4-inch check valves are installed in the pilot manifold to
ensure the proper number of cylinders are discharged (see
Figure 3-26).

3-3.7.4 MANIFOLD EL-CHECKS, P/N 877690 AND
P/N 878743
Manifold El-Checks are installed at the discharge manifold
in a multiple cylinder arrangement to allow removal of any
FM-200 cylinder from the manifold while still retaining a
closed system. The 2-inch El-check is used on the
10 through 350 lb. size cylinders; the 2½-inch El-check is
used with the 600 lb. size cylinder (see Figure 3-27 and
Tables 3-15 and 3-16).
CAUTION
!
Manifold El-checks are not intended to be
used as check valves in main/reserve
systems. Improper use of equipment can
cause system malfunction.
