Nitrogen Manifolded Cylinder Pack (MCP)

A Nitrogen Manifolded Cylinder Pack (MCP) is the answer when single-cylinder supply isn’t keeping up. Multiple high-pressure nitrogen cylinders are rigged together on a common manifold, giving you continuous supply and one regulator interface for everything downstream — production lines, food MAP packaging, beverage dispense, laser-cutting assist gas and tyre-fill bays.

Adams Gas supplies food-grade Oxygen-Free Nitrogen (OFN) MCPs in 9-cylinder and 16-cylinder configurations, RENT FREE — buy the pack once, refill the cylinders at our standard rate. Both sizes are available with a 300-bar single-stage regulator option for clean step-down to your line pressure.

When Does a Nitrogen MCP Make Sense?

Manifolded packs aren’t for everyone. If your nitrogen draw is light or intermittent, a single 50L cylinder will see you through — see our main Nitrogen Bottles range. But if you’re hitting any of these usage patterns, an MCP pays for itself:

  • Production-line MAP packaging — food-grade OFN feeding modified-atmosphere packaging machines, where line stops cost more than the gas (see also nitrogen for food & wine)
  • Multi-keg beer cellars and dispense systems — see our trade beer & cellar gas page for the dispense-specific blends
  • Laser-cutting assist gas — high-purity nitrogen at consistent pressure for stainless-steel and aluminium cuts
  • Tyre fill bays — workshops filling automotive tyres at scale; nitrogen holds pressure better than air (see nitrogen for motorsports)
  • HVAC pressure-test rigs — multi-station test bays that can’t tolerate a cylinder swap mid-run (see nitrogen for air-con)

9-Cylinder vs 16-Cylinder — Which Pack?

Sizing comes down to peak draw rate and how often you can tolerate a cylinder change. As a rough guide:

  • 9-cylinder pack suits moderate continuous draw — single MAP line, mid-size cellar, single laser-cutter
  • 16-cylinder pack for heavier or 24/7 draw — multi-line packaging plant, large pub group cellar, multi-station tyre bay

Specification

All MCPs in this range are food-grade Oxygen-Free Nitrogen at BS 4366 / EIGA-equivalent purity, supplied with a manifold connection to suit your downstream regulator or available paired with our 300-bar single-stage regulator (10 LPM, twin-gauge design). Cylinder swap on the manifold is single-tool, no specialist gas-fitter required for routine refills.
