Abstract
A manifold apparatus includes a plurality of manifold blocks which are coupled together in a line. In each of the manifold blocks, an axial line of a branch port is deviated from an axial line of a main port in a direction perpendicular to a coupling direction in which the manifold blocks are coupled together. The plurality of manifold blocks are configured to be coupled together in a state where one of the adjacent manifold blocks is inverted 180° from the other of the adjacent manifold blocks in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the branch port and the coupling direction.
