1. DESCRIPTION
This installation and operation manual covers the series AK M60 crossover manifold. The AK M60
crossover manifold is used to maintain a continuous supply of source gas when the “in use” gas cylinder
is depleted, by automatically drawing gas from a standby cylinder. The AK M60 consists of a crossover
regulator and pressure gauges. The crossover regulator has a panel nut for mounting. The crossover
regulator consists of two regulators with separate inlets and a common outlet, machined into a single
body. Two pressure gauges are installed in the crossover regulator to indicate the inlet pressure from the
Source A and Source B gas cylinders. The crossover regulator has an outlet pressure gauge and an outlet
port. A relief valve is recommended to be installed to protect the low pressure side of the crossover
regulator from full cylinder pressure in the event of a seat failure. Custom configurations may vary
slightly from this standard design. Figure 1 shows the basic design.
