Manifold

Abstract

A manifold for fluids, in particular for heating installations, with the manifold having several mutually couplable housings (1), in particular for receiving valves, flowmeters or thermal sensors, with the housings (1) having a main conduit (2) which is continuous in the axial direction and at least one transversal conduit (16) which is connected with the same, and with a neck (3) which extends in the axial direction of the main conduit (2) and can be inserted into an enlargement (4) of the main conduit (2) of the adjacent housing (1) and a jacket surface (6) of said neck (3) is provided with at least one receiver for a sealing ring. In order to compile such a manifold in a simple way it is provided that the neck (3) carries at least one radially projecting cam (7) which is a part of a bayonet catch (7, 9) and co-operates with recesses (9) in the interior wall (8) of the enlargement (4), with the recesses (9) being provided with sections (10, 11) which extend in the axial direction and approximately in the circumferential direction.
