FAV Air Distribution Manifold
Efficient Compressed Air Distribution with Centralized Control
The FAV Air Distribution Manifold is designed to distribute compressed air from a single main supply to multiple pneumatic tools, equipment, and workstations. Featuring a robust blue-coated steel vessel, individual outlet ball valves, an integrated pressure gauge, and an over-pressure safety valve, this manifold provides a centralized solution for controlled compressed air distribution.
Engineered for industrial environments, the system allows operators to manage individual outlet connections independently while monitoring operating pressure. Its durable construction, quick-connect couplings, and integrated mounting base make it suitable for a wide range of compressed air distribution applications.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Centralized Air Distribution
The central manifold vessel receives compressed air through the main inlet and distributes it across multiple outlet connections. This arrangement helps simplify air supply management for pneumatic tools and industrial equipment.
2. Main Inlet with Isolation Valve
The high-capacity main inlet supports the incoming compressed air supply. A full-port ball valve with an operating handle allows the main supply to be isolated when required.
3. Multiple Outlet Ports with Independent Control
The manifold features four configurable outlet ports, each equipped with an individual lever-operated ball valve. Operators can open or close specific outlet lines according to operational requirements.
4. Integrated Pressure Gauge
The built-in pressure gauge provides a convenient visual indication of system pressure. The gauge range can be selected to suit the intended operating conditions.
5. Over-Pressure Safety Valve
The adjustable pressure relief valve is designed to release excess pressure when the system exceeds its specified setting. Correct sizing, installation, and adjustment are essential for safe operation.
6. Quick-Connect Couplings
Camlock-style quick-connect couplings, such as Type C where specified, support convenient hose connections and disconnections. Coupling selection should be compatible with the connected equipment and operating pressure.
7. Durable Steel Manifold Body
The robust steel body features a blue protective finish for an industrial appearance and added surface protection. Stainless steel construction is available as an option, subject to the selected configuration.
8. Sturdy Mounting Base
The integrated mounting base provides a stable support structure and can be configured for suitable floor, wall, or panel installations, depending on the product design.

Functional Principle
The FAV Air Distribution Manifold operates through a centralized distribution arrangement:
- Air Inlet: Compressed air enters through the main inlet connection.
- Central Manifold Vessel: Incoming air is distributed through the internal manifold chamber.
- Pressure Monitoring: The integrated gauge displays the system pressure.
- Outlet Distribution: Air is delivered to individual outlet connections.
- Independent Flow Control: Each outlet valve allows its respective line to be opened or isolated.
- Pressure Protection: The pressure relief valve provides protection against excessive pressure when properly specified and installed.
This design helps simplify pneumatic supply management while providing convenient access to individual outlet controls.
