A manifold assembly, comprising:
- a manifold having a first face and a second face opposite the first face;
- a first diaphragm assembly and regulator case of a first regulator mounted to a first side of a first regulator mount formed into the first face;
- a second side of the first regulator mount formed into the second face;
- a first gas passageway coupling the first side of the first regulator mount with the second side of the first regulator mount;
