Re-reading the archives and saw the idea of mainfolds for the pitot/static
lines.  Did anybody find a commercial source or plans for such manifolds.  They seem like a really great idea and I'd like to incorporate them in our ES.<<<


I built a pitot/static manifold for Ted Noel's IVP.  It's actually pretty simple, nothing more than a 1" square AL bar, about 6" long, has 7 ports on each end with a screw mount through the center.  I'm attaching a couple of pictures so you can see what it looks like.  I colored one end red to indicate the pitot side, the other (static side) was left plain.  All ports are 1/8 NPTF, center bolt hole is a -3.

Here is how the ports are setup....

  v  v     v  v
o  o  x  o  o  <

The x in the middle is the -3 mounting screw hole.   I hope this helps.

PS... ACS has similar manifolds listed in their catalog.  prices vary with number of ports.
