Abstract:
A manifold includes an end plate having a flat surface and a plastic layer. A hole for forming a flow path is opened in the flat surface. The plastic layer covers the flat surface and the inner surface of the hole. An inclined surface is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the open end of the hole that is located on the flat surface. The inclined surface has a straight cross section inclined relative to the center line of the hole.

Claim (Index 3):
A method for manufacturing a manifold comprising:\n preparing an end plate that has a mounting surface configured to be fixed to a case and a hole for forming a flow path; forming, on an inner circumferential surface of an open end of the hole, an inclined surface having a straight cross section inclined relative to a center line of the hole; forming a flat surface by cutting, in a direction perpendicular to the center line, a portion of the end plate that is on a side on which the open end of the hole is provided; and forming a plastic layer such that the plastic layer covers the flat surface and an inner surface of the hole.
