Abstract
A manifold fitting for a compressed air tank having an elongate main body of hexagonal cross-section with first and second ends, the first end being of reduced circular cross-section, the body having an axial passage extending from the first end toward and terminating short of the second end. The first end is externally threaded for attachment of the fitting to a tank for communication with the tank via the passage. The body has a lateral opening extending inwardly from a one of its six faces to said passage and a pressure relief safety valve at the lateral opening in the body. A passage extends across the body and intersects the lateral opening.
