Halcyon tankbands

Product catalog summary

Installation Overview: The Halcyon Tank Bands installation involves positioning the top bands just below the shoulder break of the tanks. Ensure bolts are tightened and check for any rocking motion. Before adjusting or removing the bands, purge all gas from the tanks to prevent manifold failure.

Tools Required: Two of the following tools are needed: adjustable wrench, deep socket wrench 1/2”, or box end wrench 1/2”.

Manifold Preparation: Disassemble the manifold into its components: isolator cross-bar and left/right valves. Note the reverse threads on one side of the isolator crossbar, marked by a notched set nut or groove. Ensure compatibility with the manifold listed on the tank bands to avoid damage.

Doubles Assembly: Use a clean, flat work area. Position cylinders parallel with necks facing you. Install valves so that the regulator orifice faces up, with valve knobs oriented left and right respectively. Consider rebuilding the manifold if previously used, using a Halcyon Manifold rebuild kit. Install the isolator carefully, ensuring threads engage equally. Adjust cylinders to maintain parallel alignment during installation.

Band Installation: Without bolts, place the upper band at the cylinder neck curve. Adjust the isolator for snug band fit. Secure with bolts using either Nylok nuts or split washers/hex nuts. Apply anti-seize compound if using Nylok nuts to prevent galling. Avoid over-tightening bolts. Ensure bolts are positioned with threaded ends on the same side as valve outlets. Install the lower band similarly, ensuring correct distance between bands with a back plate. Adjust manifold spacing if necessary to allow isolator rotation. Tighten bands without misalignment or distortion.

Final Adjustments: Verify cylinders are parallel and in the same plane. Check for stability and absence of rocking motion. If rocking occurs, readjust bands on a flat surface.

ASSEMBLING DOUBLES WITH HALCYC3N TANK BANDS Tools Required: Adjustable wrench Deep socket wrench 1/2" Manifold Preparation Begin by breaking your manifold down into its three components- isolator cross- bar and left/right valves. Take care to note that one side of the isolator crossbar is designed to use reverse threads. This side is usually marked with a notched set nut, and/or a groove on the isolator crossbar. Make sure the manifold you have is listed on the label inside the tank bands. Failure to use a compatible manifold could result in manifold damage. The bands are designed for the isolator...
