Abstract

Methods and apparatus to couple manifold blocks to form a manifold are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first manifold block including a first fluid passageway defining a first opening in a first surface of the first manifold block. The example apparatus includes a first keyway extending along the first surface of the first manifold block. The example apparatus includes a first key to be inserted in the first keyway and a second keyway of a second manifold block to couple the first manifold block to the second manifold block to fluidly couple the first fluid passageway to a second fluid passageway of the second manifold block.
