1.0.0 INTRODUCTION_
The intricate systems that are now in use emphasize compactness; therefore,
many manifolds are used, especially on hydraulic and pneumatic and
instrumentation systems. It is often desirable to mount all the valves on a
manifold panel.
2.2.0 TWO-VALVE
Two-valve manifolds are used as a barrier between line pressure and
instrumentation equipment. The second valve and line serves the dual
purpose of providing a vent connection to prevent line pressure from being
locked in the instrumentation and could also serve as a calibration
connection. Figure 3 shows a simplified cutaway view of a two-valve
manifold along with its schematic diagram.
The five-valve equalizing manifold provides two mainline block valves and a
double block and bleed arrangement for the equalizer line. Static pressure
and calibration connections are also provided. This manifold is primarily
intended for gas service and is used to connect differential pressure
transmitters to system flow meters. Figure 5 shows a simplified cutaway view
of a five-valve equalizing manifold along with its schematic diagram.

NOTE:
SUMMARY
Valve manifolds have been widely used in the fabrication of hydraulic and
pneumatic systems. Three valve and five valve manifolds are used for
installation of differential pressure cells. Two valve manifolds provide
connections for indicating devices such as gages. some advantages of these
components include; ease of assembly, compactness, and good
12
maintainability. The use of manifolds will save time and minimize the
possibility of rework. This module has provided the necessary information to
ensure that a technician thoroughly understands the construction and
proper installation of a variety of valve manifolds.
