I used high pressure (2,000 psi) oxygen cylinders for high altitude sailplane flying for many years. I filled my own cylinders and maintained the system. High pressure oxygen is never delivered directly to flight crew. It is always regulated to a much lower pressure then passed to a mask or cannula by a manufacturer's proprietary regulator/delivery system.

I'd suggest you consult the manufacturer's documentation for the system that may be fitted to your aircraft. There are many different type of delivery systems.

The PRICE mnemonic checklist is generic and is probably useful for any system - https://www.faa.gov/pilots/safety/pi..._equipment.pdf
