MCS2 - THE MANIFOLD
YOU NEED
For a safe and reliable supply of medical gases
the MCS2 manifold control system is the product HIGH RELIABILITY
you need, offering: The MCS2 incorporates 1st stage regulators
specifically designed for the purpose of
• Very high flow rates
supplying medical gases, whereas many
• Two stage regulation system to maintain a other manifolds utilise regulators primarily
smooth and constant delivery pressure designed for use with gas torch welding or
brazing sets.
• Inherently corrosion resistant design
no sacrificial protection Since the intermittent high flows apparent
with medical gases can exert high strains
• 12 V d.c. control system for maximum safety on the internal components, the MCS2
• Ease of access for maintenance uses a regulator designed to cope with the
rigorous demands of medical gas supply.
SAFETY
Continuity of supply is of paramount importance
for medical gases, which is why the MCS2
includes features such as:

• Fail-safe solenoid valves in the event of power

supply failure

• All major components are replaceable without

interruption of supply
