Abstract
A connecting layer for interconnecting fluid control devices in series and in parallel comprises an upper connecting layerand a lower connecting layer. The upper connecting layeris provided by parallel rows each comprising block couplingsarranged longitudinally of the apparatus, each of the block couplings having a longitudinal channelfor interconnecting the adjacent fluid control devices in the row and a through channelcommunicating with the fluid control device. The lower connecting layeris provided by block couplingeach having a lateral channelfor interconnecting the through channelsof the block couplingsof the upper connecting layerwhich are arranged laterally and by block couplingseach adapted to cause the through channelof the block couplingof the upper connecting layerto communicate with an inlet-side or outlet-side coupling. The couplingsof the lower connecting layerare attached to a base platewith screws from above, and the couplingsof the upper connecting layerare attached to the couplingsof the lower connecting layerwith screws form above.
