Abstract
A modular manifold assembly includes at least one barbed distribution connector disposed on a modular manifold body. Individual modular manifold assemblies are assembled into various lengths as required to accommodate multiple different desired fluid distribution system configurations. The modular manifold body employs a tubular design with a D-shaped cross-section that allows ease of assembly. The at least one barbed distribution connector attaches to at least one distribution line to distribute fluid throughout a fluid distribution system.
Claims17
A modular manifold system for a fluid distribution system comprising:
- at least two modules, wherein each module includes a manifold having:
- a first end;
- a second end;
- and
- a body disposed between said first end and said second end, wherein said body includes at least one distribution connection.
A method of creating a fluid distribution system to accommodate individual system requirements comprising the steps of:
- a) determining a first desired configuration of fluid distribution,
- b) selecting a plurality of modular manifolds based upon the first desired configuration;
- c) assembling the plurality of modular manifolds to one another to achieve the first desired configuration;
- and
- d) connecting the assembled plurality of modular manifolds to a main distribution system.
