What are the uses of valve manifolds?
Valve manifolds fulfill critical operational functions, including:
- Blocking a connection to the process
- Equalizing pressure between the two ports of the measuring device
- Bleeding the segment between the instrument and the process
Because of their versatility, manifolds are a common fixture in oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, power generation, and water and wastewater facilities. Signs are that if you are a fluid control operator for any of those industries, you have encountered a manifold along the way.
What process variables are up for measurement in valve manifolds?
- Pressure (gauge and differential)
- Flow rate
- Fluid level
- Temperature

What are the different configurations of valve manifolds?
2-valve manifold
Operational considerations of a 2-valve manifold
The bleed valve is kept closed during normal operation.
To calibrate the pressure transmitter, the block valve is closed and the bleed or test valve is open.
The test valve is connected to a pressure generator to test the instrument.
The block valve permits isolating the pressure transmitter from the process.
Pressure is vented using the bleed valve after which the instrument can be removed for service or repair.
The arrangement is usually followed by a pressure gauge, a pressure transmitter, or a pressure switch. It cannot be used with differential pressure transmitters as there is only one port available for the process connection.
3-valve manifold
A 3-valve manifold consists of two block valves and an equalizer valve. And is used with differential pressure transmitters to prevent instrument over-range. Also, to allow isolation of the transmitter from the process line during maintenance and calibration.
A 3-valve manifold has at least four ports. Two are connected to the DP transmitter itself. The remaining two ports connect to the process locations to measure the DP.
Operational considerations of a 3-valve manifold
On normal operation, the equalizer valves are kept tightly closed and the block valves remain open.
Zero readings in the DP transmitter can be easily verified by equalizing the pressure on the two sensor diaphragms. To do this, the block valves must be closed and the equalizer valve opened.
The standard procedure for instrument removal due to service or repair is to close the high-pressure valve, open the equalizing valve, and finally close the low-pressure valve.
It does not provide a test connection. For that reason, it is rarely used in the oil and gas industries.
Some manufacturers offer a modified version with test ports, but in general, a test connection is not available.
It does not support a built-in option to bleed the trapped fluid pressure into the atmosphere. Installation of an extra bleed valve is required to vent the trapped fluid pressure.
5-valve manifold
5-valve manifolds are the most commonly used manifolds for differential pressure transmitter applications (measurement).
The 5-valve manifold consists of two block valves and one equalizer valve. Plus, two additional valves for venting or testing.
In addition, a 5-valve manifold provides the ability to block, equalize, and vent two process connections along with the option of calibrating the transmitter without removing it from the setup.
Operational considerations of a 5-valve manifold
- For differential pressure measurement, block valves are kept in the open position with the equalizer and bleed valves tightly closed.
- During calibration, the block valves are closed, and the equalizing valve is opened to check the zero of the pressure-transmitter. After the pressure has equalized, the equalizer valve will be closed and the test valves or vent valves of the manifold are connected to a pressure generator for three or five-point calibration.
- Vent valves release the pressure into the atmosphere before the instrument is removed for service or repairs.
- It is utterly important to ensure that the equalizing valves are never opened while the two block valves connected to the process are open. Otherwise, it can cause for the process fluid to flow through the equalizing valves from the high-pressure to the low-pressure side.

What kind of body styles of valve manifolds are available?
Valve manifolds are available in two major body styles: Horizontal body style and vertical body style.
The basic difference between the two is the orientation of the main body of the manifold. But when to pick one over the other? The choice of style depends on the available space and the process layout.
Horizontal body style
Example of horizontal body style
The main body of the manifold is horizontal with connecting ports on the smaller face.
Vertical body style
Example of vertical body style
The main body of the manifold is vertical with connecting ports on the larger face.
What kind of mounting styles of valve manifolds are available?
Valve manifolds can be mounted using two different styles, direct mounting or remote mounting.
Direct mounting
The direct mounting style connects the pressure instruments straight to the manifold. To do so, a combination of flange and threaded connections are in use.
There are some highly appreciated benefits to this style. For instance, it improves energy efficiency by shortening system flow paths. The pressure drop reduces and heat loss goes to a minimum. Other advantages are:
Lower installation cost
Simpler maintenance
Fewer potential leak points
Full system support on hard pipes
Remote mounting
In remote mounting, the manifold’s installation is done away from the instruments. The linking is possible thanks to the use of threaded connections only.
There is a plus side to remote mounted valve manifolds:
Increases the instrument’s protection from extreme process temperatures.
Eases the installation process using tubing and tube fittings.
Grants the deployment of standard instrument manifolds.
Features of a valve manifold
- 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance.
- One-piece construction body provides strength.
- 316 stainless steel pin prevents detachment of the bonnet from the body due to vibration.

Benefits of Using a Valve Manifold
Valve manifolds find a range of applications, starting from small mobile devices to large industrial complexes. There are various advantages that manifold valve provides to the system. Some of the common benefits are:
- Reduction of pressure and heat loss due to shorter flow pathways.
- Increasing energy efficiency.
- Compact installation.
- Lower installation expenses.
- The number of fluid connections is reduced.
- Oil leaks and maintenance are reduced due to fewer connections.

Which manifold valve is right for your differential pressure instrument?
Ashcroft offers 3- and 5-valve manifolds in different styles based on how they are attached to differential pressure gauges. The most important factors in this mounting are the design of the manifold and the port distance on the manifolds.
Not every manifold is configured to be directly connected to a differential pressure gauge, regardless of the port distance. See Figure 5 below.
- V01 type in a 3- and 5-valve are for remote mounting only.
- V02 type in a 3- and 5-valve are available for both direct and remote mounting.
- V03 type in a 3- and 5-valve are available for direct mounting of differential gauge models 1132 and 1133 only.
Testing
Standard Test: Each valve is factory tested with nitrogen at 1000 psig (69 bar) for leakage at the seat and packing, the maximum allowable leak rate of 0.1 SCCM.
Optional Hydrostatic test: This test is performed with de-ionised water at 1.5 times the working pressure. Other tests like vibration, temperatures, helium etc. are available upon request.
Packaging
All exposed threads of the products are protected with plastic caps to prevent damage and each assembly is packed in sealed and clear polyethylene bag for cleanliness and carefully packed in cardboard boxes to prevent transit damage. Each and every package is labelled for proper and easy identification.
