Abstract
A manifold fitting for a compressed air tank comprising an elongate main body of hexagonal cross-section having an axial passage for communication with the tank, a first lateral opening extending from a first face of the body, an outlet member threaded in the first lateral opening having a valve seat at its inner end and a second lateral opening extending from a second face opposite the first. A valve member is threaded in the second lateral opening extending across the stem with an axial passage therein extending inwardly partway from its outer end to at least one port in the valve stem for communication with the axial passage. A filler check valve is located in the axial passage for filling the tank with compressed air via application of a coupling at the end of a compressed air supply to said stem. A third lateral opening extends inwardly from a third face to said passage and has a pressure relief safety valve therein. A fourth threaded lateral opening in the body extends inwardly from a fourth of the faces to the passage for receiving a pressure gauge.
