Integral manifold

摘要

An aluminum manifold (10) is provided of prismoid shape which is octagonal in cross section and has eight planar surfaces (52). An integral collet (18) is formed between two annular shoulders (22, 26) near one end to facilitate clamping the manifold (10) with a conventional clamping assembly (16). Grooves (56) extend longitudinally along centerlines of the planar surfaces (52). Ports (54) adapted to connect to standard industrial fittings are located on centerlines of adjacent surfaces (52) in open communication with a central bore (28) extending through the manifold (10).
