A fluid valve manifold has an electrical conduit for receiving a circuit board assembly that actuates a plurality of valve units. The circuit board assembly is reversibly and rotatably mountable to a first position or second position in the electrical conduit such that a respective set of first electrical connectors at a first end or a second set of electrical connectors at a second end opposite that of the first end may be in position to receive electrical signals through the respective connectors. When in one position, the circuit board assembly is able to serve a single solenoid valve unit. When in a rotated second position, the circuit board is able to serve a double solenoid valve unit.

A grounded FRL for treating a pressurized air supply has a housing with a connecting mechanism for connecting to a collector bowl. The collector bowl is made from a metal base material and has an open end with a connecting mechanism and a closed distal end. The housing has a flange that is electrically conductive and extending downwardly at an exterior of the bowl. At least one grounding clip member is made from electrically conductive material and has an exterior mounting end attached to the flange for electrical connectivity thereto and has a radially inner end that electrically makes contact with the metal base materials of the collector bowl and the housing.

A zoned fluid control system in a valve manifold system has a plurality of manifold blocks connected together and a plurality of control valves mounted to the manifold blocks with the control valves being electrically actuated and pilot pressure operated. The plurality of manifold blocks forms at least first and second separate pilot pressure passages of a respective first zone and second zone not connected to each other for supplying a respective first set and second set of control valves with independently controlled pilot pressure. A pilot supply valve selectively supplies pilot pressure and shuts off pilot pressure to the second pilot pressure passage without affecting the pilot pressure to the first pilot pressure passage thereby disabling the second set of control valves as a separate zone independent from the first set of control valves.

A valve assembly has a valve housing with a hole therein. A valve spool is slidably received directly into the hole of the valve housing with no sleeves or seals interposed therebetween. Preferably, the valve housing and valve spool may be made from hardened stainless steel, preferably hardened 440C stainless steel. Preferably a combination modular housing has an integrally formed manifold section and valve section made by additive manufacturing.

A fluid control system that includes a fluid manifold having a plurality of manifold bodies fastened to each other end-to-end so as to form at least first and second passages extending continuously through the manifold and each of the bodies. A plurality of solenoid valves are each mounted on a side of an associated body with valve ports opening into the body to the fluid passage(s) that extend through the manifold. An electrical connection arrangement is mounted at one end of the manifold for receiving control signals from an external source. A plurality of circuitboards are disposed one within the second passage of each body, with each of the circuitboards including male and female connectors at opposed ends for connecting the circuitboards in series with each other to the electrical connection arrangement at the end of the manifold. A third connector on each circuitboard extends laterally from the circuitboard for connection to the solenoid valve mounted on the side of the associated manifold body.
