ABSTRACT:
A stacked snail-type manifold design is provided including a plurality of plastic manifold sections which are engageable with one another. The stacked design provides a simple process for manufacturing a snail-type manifold. The use of plastic manifold sections reduces the weight of the manifold. Furthermore, the plastic manifold sections can be fabricated by an inexpensive and relatively simple molding process.
