mountable manifolds?

[scout80]

I'm SURE these things are out there, and I'm probably just not using the proper search terms to find them.

What I'm looking for is a 4-way manifold/splitter for the compressor, as in 1 input, 4 outputs (perhaps it's a 5 way, depending on how you look at it?). More outputs wouldn't be an issue to me, as I can easily just plug whatever I'm not using. Preferably the log/tube style, like this -

, just with more outputs on it.

The kicker is that I'm looking for something that has ears or holes in it already in order to mount it to a hard surface. Reason being that I'm going to put it into a truck with a compressor, with couplers at each corner of the truck, and likely will be using rubber hose to go from the couplers to the manifold so it won't have support from the pipe normally used on compressors.

I haven't seen one with tabs for mounting, but easy to add some with a welder.

I think they are called "common supply" manifolds. I've seen them at the parker store. Essentially they are a block that has through holes which mounts to a separate base bent out of sheet metal. If you needed a few on the cheap, I too would just fire up the welder. Pretty sure clippard makes them as well.

If that is the case I was thinking HF carries something along the line you are looking to go. That is where i got mine from a while back.

Make one. I built this one 6 years ago when I was planning my garage. It's .250 wall 304 and has 1 inlet on the bottom and 3 outlets, one regulated. Added two gauges to monitor pressure and quick connects everywhere. Can't live without it.

Well hell, that's not a bad idea at all...don't know why I didn't think it of first, and I probably already have some heavy wall square tube sitting in the scrap pile and I know I have the NPT taps, lol.

I welded on 1/2 couplings, I wanted the full thread engagemnet and more of a pressure vessel design. My end caps are 3/8 plate to exceed the stress of not usuing proper endcaps.

This is what your looking for

Depending on where you are, I'm sure there's a distributor for Dixon near by you and can get them easily for you. This is what i used, i have three one each of my walls, all fully loaded with quick connects.

Something like this? Many options available, search for Polyconn find the number you want than google it.
