<p>A modular block assembly is provided for interconnecting fluid components of a fluid system in a reduced area. The system includes a base block (B) having angularly disposed passages (44) that receive fasteners in opposite, parallel end faces (14, 16) of the block. The fasteners allow adjacent base blocks to be connected in end-to-end fashion. The first passage extends through one of the end faces and communicates with an upper face (18) of the block. Fluid components are selectively secured to the upper face of the base block to control or regulate fluid flow through the system as desired. Additional angle openings and fasteners, as well as additional fluid passages, may be provided in side wall faces (14, 16) of the base blocks. These additional passages permit transfer of fluid from one adjacent flow line to another. Each fluid passage end includes face seals allowing abutting engagement between the modular components to provide a sealed, continuous flow passage.</p> |
