ABSTRACT:
A gas-panel manifold for use in a gas-panel assembly mounted on a support is disclosed. The manifold includes (i) a plurality of two-port stations at which gas components, including one or more gas-valve components, can be mounted, (II) at least one station having a port for accommodating an overhead fluid connection, and (iii) internal fluid connections between individual stations in the manifold, for carrying a gas from one gas component mounted on the assembly to another, and for carrying gas from said one station to one of the two ports at a station which a valved gas component is to be mounted. The fluid connections have a cross-sectional area that is larger than can be accommodated by a three-port station of the type used for mounting a three-port valved gas component.
