I'm aware. I have one LP twinset with a 300 bar manifold, as it happens. I was talking about the pressure rating of the manifold itself.
It has nothing to do with pressure rating of the manifold/valve either. It do with the pressure rating of the regulator.

The mechanical connection, i.e. the threads occurs with the first couple of threads. The fact that there are five threads is sufficient for 300 bar.

One could put a 300 bar regulator on a 200 bar valve and run 300 bar pressure without issue.

There are seven threads on a 300 bar valve so prevent a connection/seal with a 200 bar regulator.

My first din regulator was a Cyklon 300. It had 5 threads. Any guesses on its rated pressure?

There are also differences in the charging leads where a 300 bar (7 thread) will not seal on a 5 thread valve. the end nipple is long and thin.
