Joe,

Is your question about storage or use?
Or
do you mean the siting of the equipment in relation to the point of operation ?

Storage has different guidance to use.

As you will be aware that in use the cylinders are cuddled close together in a trolley or stand.

The question relates to "in use" there has been some question as to the segregation process which may be getting confused with "storage of"

While using oxy/act they are normally housed on a trolley for prevention of falling over so they are sited side by side. Storage is a different matter and can be downloaded from supplier
