Abstract
An improved fluid-test apparatus having a plurality of hose connectors one of which is made to provide a flow capacity at least substantially equal to the cumulative flow capacity of a plurality of others of such connectors. The disclosed apparatus includes valves associated with each of the respective connectors, and in the illustrated embodiment, four such connectors and valves are provided. Gauges are further associated with the apparatus to have fluid communication with a manifold chamber within the apparatus body. At least one of the valves for controlling the hose connections to the manifold chamber may also be used for controlling theconnection of the gauge to the manifold chamber. At least one of the gauges may have continuous fluid communication with at least one of the hose connections at all times.
