IS THIS MANIFOLD POSSIBLE

IS THIS MANIFOLD POSSIBLE

IS THIS MANIFOLD POSSIBLE

(OP)
ok so I have seen some pretty funky muffler pipes. However this isnt a muffler, it is holding liquid glycol/ water mix. The model in the pic shows three 90 butt weld pipe ends kind of put together with a 1.0 pipe, another 90 into a triclamp fitting. its stainless steel, and 1.0" od and .109" wall, or 1.315 OD and 1.09" ID. Is this possible and how? I want this nice smooth swoop type flow into the main line, I do not want to use Tee fittings as it will kill flow with the 90's

RE: IS THIS MANIFOLD POSSIBLE

Try lateral tees or latrolets.

the thing about these Y and laterolets id they come out on an angle. I want the inlets to come out perpendicular to the straight pipe like you see in my model

RE: IS THIS MANIFOLD POSSIBLE

You may have just found an application for 3-D printing.
You could cobble it together by cutting down ells, but it wouldn't be smooth inside.

RE: IS THIS MANIFOLD POSSIBLE

Yah the smoothness wouldnt be as good, and I dont think 3d printing is at that stage yet.

LittleInch those are nice fittings

RE: IS THIS MANIFOLD POSSIBLE

I wonder how strong those swept tees are, looks like two pieces welded than polished.

RE: IS THIS MANIFOLD POSSIBLE

Take a pile of these:

to any local marine exhaust shop
(include a few spares)
and ask them to weld up your manifold.

The mcmaster parts should be able to handle your 10 psi design pressure.

Hint: If you're expecting hoses to stay on the elbows, ask the shop to weld or form 'hose beads' a short distance from the ends.
