Mobile Air Splitting Manifold
 ✖  |
“One day two of my sons each had projects going outside where they needed compressed air, sharing one large line from the compressor in my shop. When I asked if I could use the hose to air up my trailer tires, they both said ‘No!’ at the same time,” says Gary Swensen, Yankton, S. Dak.
“So that’s when I got the idea for a mobile air splitter that we could carry outside and connect air lines for multiple projects. One large line goes in the end of the splitter and 6 lines out are fitted with quick couplers.
“This kind of manifold needs to be built extremely heavy-duty. I used a large piece of heavy-gauge pipe with ends welded in place and holes drilled in the sides for the pipe fittings. I added a handle to make it easy to carry and added a couple small legs to hold it off the ground. No more sharing and swearing, and no need to run separate air lines for each project.”
