Abstract

A valve manifold device for mounting pressure fluid valves (2) on a surface comprising a valve interface (A--A) and including channels (7-7',8) for supply and possibly return fluid, wherein channels are arranged for leading fluid to and from the valve interface and thereby the different valves, is distinguished in: PA1 that the manifold device (4) comprises a manifold interface (B--B) on a side separate from the valve interface (A--A), PA1 that each connecting channel for supply fluid includes a first portion (10,10') between a channel (7) and the manifold interface and a second portion between the manifold interface (B--B) and the valve interface (A--A), and PA1 that a selectable modular body (5,5',5",30) is provided for connecting (12,32) said portions or to block (14,14') the first portion and lead on the second portion, or to block both portions.
