You may not know, but SFP has been here doing this manifold thing for a LOOOONNG time…… And we have the pictures to prove it!!!

(Our Engineers, Tim Hawkins and Jim Hacker. They will probably kill me for this, but the 80’s were very good to us!)

INLINE

Inline Manifolds

SIDELINE

Sideline Manifold

DIVIDED

Red/Blue Divided Manifold

Rugged, Quick Connect External Manifolds
Offer You Exceptional Convenience,
Cost and Production Advantages

FEATURES:

Color Coded - Hoses and Manifolds are Color Coded (Red for Hot and Blue for Cold) for Easy Identification (And To Help Eliminate Hookup Errors)
Fewer Connections - Reduces Chances of Hookup Errors
Variety of Models - Standard or Custom — Virtually Unlimited Combinations Available — We Can Accommodate Almost Any Cooling Pattern
Full Flow - For Optimum Efficiency
External Mounting - Provides Thermal Barrier Between Mold and Manifold
Port Size Selection - May Be Sized for Foolproof Connections (No Accidental Hookup of Cold to Hot or
Hot to Cold)
Pre-Plumbing - Permits Bench Testing of Flow Rates and Checks for Mold Leaks

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS:

Manifolds are in stock or custom drilled to your specifications.
Either separate single manifolds may be used for the supply and return flow; or a divided manifold with a divider plate may be used for both the supply and return flow.
Manifolds have pre-drilled mounting holes and are furnished with stainless steel mounting screws.
Ports can be drilled in from 1 to 5 surfaces - A, B, C, D, and/or E (see drawing A). Custom spacing is available.
Manifolds are made from 356 aircraft aluminum.
Single manifolds are available in red, blue or black. Divided manifolds are half blue and half red.

Pressure Rating: 3000 psi

Temperature Rating: 300°F
