A manifold valve is a precision-engineered device used to regulate, isolate, vent, or equalize pressure in fluid and gas systems—particularly in instrumentation and process control applications. It combines multiple valve functions into a single compact body, streamlining the piping setup and improving efficiency.
At VIRGN ENGINEERS, we specialize in high-performance 2-valve, 3-valve, and 5-valve manifolds, designed to meet the rigorous demands of industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and instrumentation systems.
How Manifold Valves Work
A manifold valve connects to instruments such as pressure gauges, transmitters, and differential pressure sensors. It replaces the need for multiple separate valves, reducing leak points and saving space.
Depending on the configuration:
-
2-Valve manifolds are typically used with static pressure transmitters.
-
3-Valve manifolds are common in differential pressure measurement systems.
-
5-Valve manifolds offer additional functionality like equalizing and venting.
Each valve function—isolate, equalize, vent or drain—is built into the manifold design, ensuring reliable system control.
