Sister product and non-haz counterpart to the widely successful FlexGas™ UHP Gas Cabinet, the FlexGas™ Gas Panel & FlexPowr™ Controller is designed to cover the widest range of cylinder gas storage & delivery applications. SDC, a time-proven manufacturer of safe, high quality non-haz gas farms & gas delivery systems for the 1st-Tier semiconductor industry, has seen the need for similarly safe & clean systems in other industries. As codes, local regulations and insurance guidelines tighten, more sophistication and control is required from what was once a "strap a cylinder to the wall" philosophy! SDC’s modular design concept allows the customer to tailor each system to meet their safety, process, purity AND budgetary goals.

The simplest industrial shop system may be configured with a 1-Valve brass gas panel. More complex systems may include up to 3 UHP grade gas panels with manual PURGE/EVAC capability, gas leak detection & ESO control.

FlexGas™ makes it easy to meet your exact gas delivery needs. Our modular design concept allows you to use a building-block method to configure a gas panel to your specifications... "no more paying way too much for a system that far-and-away exceeds your requirements". Start by choosing one of several configurations. Begin customizing right at the gas panel level by selecting the gas panel purity. From the standard 3-Valve UHP panel, you can choose to add PURGE capability (4- Valve) or PURGE/EVAC capability (6-Valve). Add safety and peace-of-mind with the optional FlexPowr™ Controller. Simply select which panels you want to shutdown on ALARM, and they will be fitted with a normally-closed ESO Valve for automatic shutdown. The ESO Controller supports up to 4 dry-contact alarm inputs. Exhaust pressure switch, gas leak detection, & UVIR are just some of the optional controls components available to prompt shutdown.
