Italian term or phrase: Quadri di intercettazione rack
Good morning.
I am translating a manual for a "Quadri di intercettazione rack".
The description of this item is:
I Quadri di intercettazione rack sono delle unità per l’intercettazione e lo spurgo di rack di carica bombole di impianti di riempimento.

I have no idea what this is quite frankly.

Quadri - Panel (the set of all the things making up the device?)
intercettazione- interception - an on-off system?
Rack- rack (the thing that holds the cylinders)

The rack interception panel?
The rack interception board?

Rack interception boards are devices used for intercepting and purging cylinder holder racks of the filling system.

None of this convinces me.
Thanks for any help.

rack valve units


Explanation:
I wish I could see a picture of this device, but let's get back to basics here: you have a kind of station for gas cylinders with a rack and some type of structure or 'assembly' at the top enabling you to bleed the cylinders? So in this case I would call the "quadro" a "unit", and the "intercettatori" are bound to be "valves".
Note that my confidence level is not high because I can't back this up with solid references; I am just aiming to apply common sense to the problem.
