Manifold Valve
Product Description
Manifolds are instruments that come with one or more valves, which can be connected to a transmitter. There are some specially designed manifolds to be mounted to a pressure transmitter. They are mostly made of stainless steel, carbon steel, or alloys. Manifolds can be a perfect alternative to multivalve systems. Manifolds are widely used in sectors such as oil & gas, chemicals, wastewater, power, and so on. They help measure static, variable, gauge, and differential pressures. There are a variety of manifold valves you can buy at The Transmitter Shop.
Types Of Valve Manifold
There are three types of valve manifolds:
2-way valve manifold
3-way valve manifold
5-way valve manifold
Typical Applications
Manifold valves are used with most pressure or differential pressure instruments such as gauges, switches, transducers, and transmitters. It is important to strategically select the most beneficial manifold valve for the specific application. Air, Gas, Liquid, Steam , Oil / Fuel, Medical / Pharmaceutical and Food Processing

Key features
Valve manifolds can be useful in many situations, from small mobile machines to heavy industrial plants. Centering any fluid power system, valve manifolds improve efficiency and reduce energy costs. Here are a few more benefits of valve manifolds:
Increased energy efficiency with shorter flow paths that minimize pressure drop and heat.
Reduced installation costs and fluid connections due to a simpler compact design.
Reduced oil leaks and upkeep with fewer connections that can fatigue, wear and loosen. Small and compact sizes with cartridge valve design to suit confined spaces.
Improved overall layout with less cumbersome hoses and fluid connections.
Corrosion Resistance
Very Good
Machinability
Good / fair.
