Gas delivery six-valve setup with pressure gauge. The purpose is to allow the lungs to be purged of air multiple times using N2 and then filled with 3He for the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement of diffusion. The 180-cm-long line keeps the pressure gauge containing ferromagnetic parts out of the scanner's fringe field.
