Q: Can I use flexible stainless steel pigtails for a medical application? A: No! According to NFPA 99, pigtails for Oxygen use shall contain no polymeric materials. Western offers rigid copper pigtails with permanent end connections for oxygen service. 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.
