What is an Air Header Manifold?
An Air Header Manifold (also called Air Header or Air Distribution Manifold) is an essential component for distributing compressed air, instrument air, or steam from a single source to multiple pipelines. These manifolds are fitted with multiple outlets, each with isolation valves, ensuring safe and efficient supply of pressurized air across different instruments and systems.
By using Air Headers, industries can achieve cost-effective, leak-proof, and simplified air distribution, while also ensuring operator safety and minimal maintenance.
