A dual cylinder manifold comprising a flexible, high pressure hose member connected between a first and a second interconnector that funnels pressurized air from two cylinders containing pressurized air to a single regulator. In operation, the first interconnector is attached to a first cylinder valve, the second interconnector to the second cylinder valve, and a regulator attached to the second interconnector. The hose member may be removably connected to the interconnectors so that it can be replaced with another hose member if desired. The manifold may also include valve connectors attached to the interconnectors for connecting to the cylinder valves, a valve adaptor for adapting the second interconnector to receive a regulator of differing connecting design where necessary, a valve connector for making the intended regulator compatible with the second interconnector, or combinations thereof. The manifold may also be provided as a kit having removable or interchangeable components for constructing a several possible manifolds, each connectable to differing dual tank systems.
