MANIFOLD COMPRISING A BODY WITH A CONICAL INNER SURFACE SUCH THAT THE CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA DECREASES IN THE DIRECTION OF FLOW

摘要

A manifold (1) comprises a body (2) with a plurality of branch fittings (3) diverging therefrom. The inner surface of the body (2) is conical such that the inner cross-sectional area of the body (2) decreases in the direction of flow. The manifold (1) is particularly well suited for use in tap water systems. The manifold (1) can be manufactured e.g. from polyphenyl sulfone PPSU, polysulphone PSU, polyvinylidene fluoride PVDF, glass fiber reinforced polyamide PA, or cross-linked polyolefin plastic.
