COMMON SUPPLY AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD FOR VALVES 1/2″ – 4 Station Manifold to 1/2″ – 10 Station Manifold and 1/2″ Blanking Plate

Key Features:

• Common Supply Passages: A shared inlet across all mounted valve positions, simplifying plumbing and reducing material usage.

• Common Exhaust (or Return) Passages: Provides a unified outlet for venting or returning flow, keeping valve stations economical and compact.

• Multiple Stations: You can equip anywhere from 4 to 10 stations—ideal for scalable systems.

• Constructed typically from aluminum for lightweight durability; may incorporate gaskets and mounting hardware.

While I couldn’t locate a source for your exact “½″ valve, 4‑to‑10‑station” spec, the concept aligns with general manifold designs such as those from Humphrey and other pneumatic equipment makers

Blanking Plate (½″)

A blanking plate (also called a block‑off plate) is used to seal unused valve positions in the manifold:

• Prevents media (air, hydraulic fluid) from leaking through unused stations.

• Installed with screws and typically includes gaskets to ensure an airtight or fluid-tight seal.

• Available for various port sizes—including ½″—and compatible series

Example: Humphrey 410M Series Manifold (Analogous Design)

While not necessarily in ½″ form, the Humphrey 410M Series demonstrates how it works:

• Supports 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 stations.

• Contains two galleries: one for common media supply and one for common vent/exhaust.

• Includes optional blanking plates for unused stations, and offers accessory boards for easier wiring
