Air Compressor Tank Manifold - Plain, Male-Male, Male-Female and Air Chuck

The manifold is the block that ties the top of an air compressor together. The discharge line comes in, and the pressure switch, safety relief valve, gauge and outlet all hang off it. When it corrodes, strips a port or cracks, everything mounted to it has to come off with it, which is why it is worth replacing properly rather than patching with fittings.

Versions

• S1013, MV-100: plain manifold
• S1620, MV-500-A: male to male manifold
• S1621, MV-500-B: male to female manifold
• S1622, CT100: manifold with air chuck, Schrader type

Which one

The difference between them is how they thread into the machine and what is built in. Male to male and male to female cover the two common arrangements for getting from the tank or the discharge tube into the manifold without an adaptor stack. The air chuck version adds a Schrader connection, which is handy on portable and service truck machines where someone will want to put air in a tyre straight off the compressor. The plain manifold is the one to take if you are building up the ports yourself.

Before you order

Count and measure the ports on the manifold you are taking off, and note which way the discharge comes in. Take a photo before you dismantle it. The pressure switch, safety valve, gauge and outlet all have to land somewhere, and it is easy to order a manifold that threads in perfectly and leaves you one port short.

Fitting it

Use thread sealant rather than tape on the ports feeding the pressure switch, because shredded tape in a switch or an unloader will cause problems you will spend an afternoon chasing. Support the manifold when you torque fittings into it so you are not twisting the discharge tube, and check the safety relief valve while you have it out. If the manifold has rusted, the safety valve sitting in it has been living in the same conditions.
