Manifold Mounting

Benefits

• Eliminates tubing or hoses from working Many Roemheld components can be manifold
area mounted... powered directly through fluid
passages drilled in a fixture. This unique
• Very close mounting of clamps
mounting capability eliminates tubing and hoses
• Only one fluid feed line in the working area, for clean fixtures without
chip traps. Even fluid passages longer than your
• No traps for chips due to “clean” design
drilling capacity are possible by drilling shorter
• Do not use NPT fittings passages in separate blocks, then connecting
them using connecting inserts.
Perhaps most important, manifold mounting lets
you put clamps and work supports closer together
and in tighter spots (often letting you place more
workpieces on a fixture).

Installation Steps

Installing Threaded Body Components
For easiest installation, we recommend the
following procedure (Step 1 through 6). For
proper sealing, the tapped hole’s bottom must be
flat, with a surface finish 125 RMS or better, and
perpendicular to the hole’s axis. A small drill-point
is allowable (see component’s catalog page for
dimensions). A delrin sealing washer for the hole
bottom is furnished with each component. Do
not use sealing compound or teflon tape. Part Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6
