A modular valve block assembly adapted to form a manifold for fluid applications comprised of a plurality of individual valves having an outlet orthogonally disposed relative to the inlet. More specifically, the manifold of the present invention includes a plurality of individual valve blocks having one inlet, and two outlets. One outlet is disposed coaxially with the inlet and is adapted for direct or spaced connection to the inlet of another valve block. The other outlet of each block is provided at a ninety degree angle to the inlet to allow for connection to the machine or object receiving the compressed fluid. A ball or needle valve is provided to control the flow of fluid to the first outlet, the second outlet, or both. The present invention therefore provides a modular manifold assembly which allows for quick and inexpensive assembly without the need for costly and cumbersome "T" adapters and individual input lines in that the individual valves include orthogonally disposed inlets and outlets.
