Abstract
An assembly of pipes and flow control means (e.g., valves) carried by a supporting frame (e.g., a skid) and forming a modular unit for field assembly of flow distributing or diverting systems of the type used in the petroleum industry in connection with tank farms. The piping of each assembly unit has ends for coupling with associated piping and like associated assembly units, with the ends disposed in vertical planes that are coincident with the corresponding sides of the frame, thereby facilitating field assembly of the units to form a desired overall system.
