Abstract

A fluid flow device including a plurality of fluid flow functional modules each fastened on a respective individual base includes: two parallel lateral faces via which the bases are adapted to be placed against one another; a primary channel passing through the base to open out in its two lateral faces; a front face along which the module extends so as to couple an inlet channel of said module with a secondary channel extending in the base; a check valve closing the secondary channel when the base is not provided with a module; and a top face in which there extends a tertiary channel opening out in the primary channel. The device further includes a fastener for fastening the bases to one another, leaktight couplers for coupling the primary channel and the tertiary channel to a source of fluid under pressure.
