Really, really dumb manifold question.
If you close the valve on the right hand post - or left hand-, does it isolate just the 1st stage on that post or does it isolate the whole cylinder ? I.E. if you have a freeflow and close the offending post do you then have the gas available in one or two cylinders ?



Does this question make sense ?

it just isolates the first stage. if you need to isolate the cylinder [too] then you use the isolator in the middle

Cheers!
So, conversely if filling I only need to open the post with the whip attached and ensure that the isolator is open ?
