Abstract
A manifold that allows replaceable pressure relief components to be installed and replaced without requiring a system shut down. The manifold allows two pressure relief valves to be installed in separate pressure relief ports. The manifold also includes a valve switch that isolates each valve independently, while allowing the system to remain in operation. For example, in a first position, the manifold directs fluid flow to a first pressure relief valve, while a second pressure relief valve is isolated.
