Parker Instrumentation has launched a 3/8 inch (10 mm) bore double block and bleed manifold that will operate at up to 15,000 PSI (1,034 bar) cold working pressure. At these elevated pressures, instrumentation engineers today typically build systems from discrete cock and tube fitting components. Compared with these, the innovative new Hi-Pro 15KSI DBB manifold saves a great deal of space and weight, and greatly enhances integrity by eliminating numerous potential leak paths.
In addition, the Hi-Pro manifold is supplied as standard with threadless connections for tubing. At 15,000 PSI pressures, many instrumentation engineers currently employ 'cone and thread' style professional fittings for tubing connections. These components are time consuming to install (it can take 30 minutes or more for every joint to 'cone' and thread the tube end), and require an additional gland component if installed in environments subject to vibration.

Parker Instrumentation's manifold is supplied as standard with 15,000 PSI-rated MPI tubing ends that operate using the industry-standard compression sealing technique. These assemble in seconds by simply tightening a nut, and are inherently vibration resistant. MPI tube end sizes from 3/8 to 3/4 inch (9.5 to 19 mm) may be specified. The end connections are secured by means of Parker's proprietary Tru-Loc mechanism, to guard against any connector specification movement. Optionally, NPT-compatible male or female ends are available.
