Manifold Features
Page Swagelok offers a variety of 2-, 3-, and 5-valve instrument manifolds. The 2-valve manifolds are designed for static pressure and liquid level applications; the 3- and 5-valve manifolds are designed for differential pressure applications. The V, VB, and VL series manifolds feature a horizontal body design. Manifold connections include 1/2 in. and 12 mm female Swagelok tube fitting, 1/2 in. female pipe (NPT and ISO 228/1), and flange (MSS SP-99).

Internal Finish
Burr-free threads and internal

surfaces reduce leaks, promoting accurate transmitter readings.

A packing adjustment may be required periodically to increase service life and to prevent leakage. Valves that have not been cycled for a period of time may have a higher initial actuation torque. To increase service life, ensure proper valve performance, and prevent leakage, apply only as much torque as is required to achieve positive shutoff.

Valve Features
The flow through a Swagelok manifold is controlled by a series of stainless steel needle valves. Each valve has a specific functionto block pressure, to bleed off pressure, or to equalize pressuredepending on its location on the manifold. The control of all these functions is shared by two needle valve designsa large-bonnet needle valve for manifold orifices of 0.156 in. (4.0 mm) and a small-bonnet needle valve for manifold orifices of 0.125 in. (3.2 mm). On both designs, the stem packing is externally adjustable in the open position. PTFE is the standard packing material; optional Grafoil packing is available for high-temperature applications.

LargeBonnet Valve

SmallBonnet Valve

Packing nut permits stem packing adjustment. PTFEstem packing seals the system fluid to atmosphere. Rolled stem threads enhance cycle life. Safety back seating seals in the fully open position, providing a secondary stem seal.

Stainless steel handle features a divot point set screw to resist loosening due to vibration. Hardened stainless steel, nonrotating ball stem tip provides consistent shutoff.

Packing bolt permits stem packing adjustment. Rolled stem threads enhance cycle life. PTFE packing is below stem threads to isolate threads from system fluid. Safety back seating seals in the fully open position, providing a secondary stem seal.

Technical Data
Orifice Size (block valve) 0.125 in. (3.2 mm) for all 2-valve V series 0.156 in. (4.0 mm) for all others 2-valve: 2.0 to 3.5 lb (0.9 to 1.6 kg) Weight 3-valve: 3.2 to 6.4 lb (1.5 to 2.9 kg) 5-valve: 6.0 to 8.0 lb (2.7 to 3.6 kg)

Testing
Every Swagelok instrument manifold is factory tested with nitrogen at 1000 psig (69 bar). Seats have a maximum allowable leak rate of 0.1 std cm3/min. Shell testing is performed with a liquid leak detector to a require ment of no detectable leakage.
