Flow control and manifold assembly

Abstract

A device for controlled delivery of pressurized fluids from a multiplicity of pressurize fluid sources having a multiplicity of pressurized fluid lines engaged therewith to a bar gun. The device comprises a flow control assembly with a multiplicity of flow channel assemblies. Each flow channel assembly has a high pressure tube receiving port adapted to receive a fluid pressure line from a high pressure fluid source. Each flow control assembly has an on/off valve and flow control structure downstream thereof. The flow control structure may be self-adjusting or mechanical control. The flow control assembly includes a housing for engaging the fluid flow channel assemblies thereon. A manifold assembly is adapted to engage the flow control assembly. The manifold assembly includes a multiplicity of connector fittings, each having an upstream and a downstream end. The upstream end is adapted to slideably receive the outlet ports of the fluid flow channel assemblies and the downstream end is designed to engage a fluid line. A multiplicity of fluid lines engage a sheath tube assembly which usually includes a sheath tube which, at a removed end, is adapted to engage a bar gun. The flow control assembly and manifold assembly include a release member for releasably engaging the tube.
