Patent ID: 8905071

Claim:
A manifold system comprising: a manifold block defining a service port extending in a first direction through said manifold block, and a supply port extending in a second direction through said manifold block, said manifold block having a front surface, an upper exterior surface and a lower exterior surface opposite said upper exterior surface, wherein said manifold block includes a solenoid port and a pressure sensor port extending into said upper surface, and wherein said service port extends into said front surface, said solenoid port and said pressure sensor port aligned above said service port and in fluid communication with said service port; a solenoid valve mounted on said upper exterior surface of said manifold block, said solenoid valve having an inlet passage aligned with said solenoid port, said solenoid valve capable of being actuated to place said supply port in fluid communication with said service port, said solenoid valve having a longitudinal length extending in a direction in which said solenoid valve is movable between a first position and a second position, said longitudinal length extending generally parallel to and aligned above said service port; a circuit board mounted adjacent said solenoid valve, said circuit board positioned generally parallel to said longitudinal length of said solenoid, wherein said solenoid is positioned between said circuit board and said upper exterior surface of said manifold block; a pressure sensor attached to said circuit board and extending into said pressure sensor port, wherein said pressure sensor is positioned above said service port in alignment with said longitudinal length of said solenoid valve; and a cover enclosing said solenoid valve, said circuit board and said pressure sensor between said cover and said manifold block, said cover having a lower surface abutting said upper surface of said manifold block to form a sealed enclosure for said solenoid valve and said circuit board while leaving said service port on said front surface uncovered and accessible.
