The Problem

Multiple stacked oven design restricts access from above Carrier gas manifold needed to be serviced from the front

Bent tubing runs required for traditional manifold design Labor intensive

Non-standard design, higher engineering costs

The Solution

Carrier gas and purge air regulators of SP76 design

Modular manifold that scales from 1 to 5 zones

The Results

From this …Multiple bent tubing runs

Multiple make-and-break fittings

• Multiple potential leak points

• Service access to regulators and gauges from above

• High labor and material content

• Non-standard engineering design

The Results

To this …

• Fewer potential leak points

• Easy access to regulators and gauges from the front

• Low labor (no tube bends), less tubing

• Standard, modular engineering design

Straight, pre-fab tube runs

Fewer make-and-break fittings

Access to the regulators and gauges from the top is not required

Regulators and gauges are serviceable from the front
