Abstract
A manifold which mounts a transmitter to a pipeline comprises a body of rectangular-like shape. The body has a first surface and a second surface at right angles to the first surface. The second surface of the body includes a first and second input port, and the first surface of the body includes corresponding first and second output ports. The body also includes a first and second channel internal to the body such that fluid is conducted between the first input port and the first output port, and fluid is conducted between the second input port and the second output port. The body further includes an internal crossover channel between the first channel and the second channel. A first and second valve is included for controlling the conducting of fluid in the first channel and the second channel, respectively. A third valve is included which controls the flow of fluid in the internal crossover channel.
