A power plant ( 10 ) having a pair of substantially identical fuel cell stacks ( 12, 13 ), each having an oxidant or fuel inlet/outlet manifold ( 15, 16 ) identical to the inlet/outlet manifold of the other stack, each inlet/outlet manifold mounted on the same side of the corresponding stack as the other inlet/outlet manifold on the other stack (the right side herein). Inlet/outlet plumbing is disposed at the end of one of the stacks ( 12 ) between the inlet/outlet manifolds ( 15, 16 ), the plumbing including a T-like transition ( 43 ) between a supply pipe ( 46 ) and an inlet tube ( 39 ) that feeds the inlets of both of the inlet/outlet manifolds ( 15, 16 ). At each inlet/outlet manifold, the side which is not connected to plumbing is blocked off with a seal plate ( 25, 32 ). Inlet and outlet tubes ( 38, 39 ) include flexible tubing portions, whereby to allow for dimensional and/or positional variations between fuel cell power plants.
