Air Manifold

 

The number of outlet of an instrument air distribution manifold may vary depend on the number of nearby pneumatic instrument or valve.

Each outlet is fitted with block valve which could be of ball valve or needle valve type.

What is Instrument Air Manifold

Each outlet should have instrument tag number to which the outlet delivered the instrument air.

At the bottom of instrument air distribution manifold, a block valve is fitted for drain purpose.

This drain valve is required during maintenance to bleed the built-up condensed liquid.

    Can you get me a manifold like this description?

    All manifolds must have a 1″ Inlet, 1/4″ to 1/2″ drain, and 1/2″NPT take-offs. IF possible, include lockable SS full port valves for all take-offs and drain.

    Prefer manifold be SS but may be able to use aluminum block style. Should be no China components.

    If so, please send me a quote!
