ABSTRACT:
A manifold has a plurality of main blocks each formed with a pair of oppositely directed and parallel flat end faces extending perpendicular to an axis and with an axially through-going main passage opening generally centrally at each face. At least one of the blocks is formed with a branch passage extending transversely from the respective main passage. A valve built into the one block controls flow along the respective branch passage. Connectors are provided on the blocks at outer ends of the passages. The blocks are secured together with their main passages coaxial and their end faces bearing in a fluid-tight manner on each other. The blocks are rectangularly parallepipedal. In addition the main passages are all substantially identical. The one module has a lateral extension through which the branch passage extends and in which the valve is mounted. Respective O-rings are compressed between the end faces of adjacent blocks.
