Swagelok® Fluid Distribution Headers

Swagelok fluid distribution headers (FDH) are common components used in a variety of gas and liquid applications. They provide a flow path while allowing multiple outlets, acting much like a large branch fitting.

Swagelok fluid distribution headers are piping assemblies that can act as distribution manifolds or collection manifolds. With an inlet on one end, a drain on the other end, and multiple outlets on either side, the FDH uses Swagelok components for enhanced reliability. Swagelok FDHs are available in 1 and 2 in. sizes.

An extruded manifold body design features squared sides that mount solidly and prevent twisting. Standard branch locations offer flexibility, as additional outlets can be added to the header without welding, and because the FDH can be ordered with two- to 16-branch outlets with or without valves, users can add ports as needed. You can select from a variety of high-quality valves and end connections, all manufactured by Swagelok to create manifolds for use at working pressures up to 3000 psig (206 bar). Mounting brackets can be positioned by the installer.
