Claim 15:
16. The apparatus of claim 15, further comprising:
a second manifold segment comprising:
a first arm of the second manifold segment having a third plurality of outlet holes, the third plurality of outlet holes providing an opening into a hollow interior of the first arm of the second manifold segment;
a second arm of the second manifold segment having a fourth plurality of outlet holes, the fourth plurality of outlet holes providing an opening into a hollow interior of the second arm of the second manifold segment;
a second base portion comprising at least one second inlet,
wherein a hollow interior of the second base portion forms a second substantially perpendicular junction, the second substantially perpendicular junction being configured to receive the fluid from the at least one second inlet and channel the fluid, within the second base portion of the second manifold segment, in opposing directions,
wherein a first direction of the opposing directions of fluid flow provided by the first substantially perpendicular junction leads to the hollow interior of the second arm of the second manifold segment and a second direction of the opposing directions of fluid flow provided by the second substantially perpendicular junction leads to the hollow interior of the second arm of the second manifold segment,

wherein the inlet channel of the rotating inlet segment is to receive the fluid and channel the fluid in a first direction, into the first manifold segment through a first inlet and into the second manifold segment through a second inlet,
wherein the rotating inlet segment, the first manifold segment, and the second manifold segment are positioned so as to approximately:
align with an approximately central vertical axis of symmetry, and reflect about an approximately central horizontal axis of symmetry, such that the first manifold segment and the second manifold segment are positioned at opposite sides of the rotating inlet segment and are oriented in opposite directions, and

wherein the rotating inlet segment is configured to rotate about the vertical axis of symmetry to enable the inlet channel to turn about the vertical axis of symmetry without blocking the fluid flow from the inlet channel to the first manifold segment and the second manifold segment,
wherein the rotating inlet segment is configured to enable the fluid flow into the first manifold segment and the second manifold segment from the inlet channel at any angle of rotation about the vertical axis symmetry.
