Introduction
An aluminum water manifold serves as a distribution fitting that splits a single input into multiple outputs or channels. For example, in automotive engines, particularly in older designs, aluminum water manifolds represent the components like intake manifolds or exhaust manifolds. An intake aluminum water manifold distributes air-fuel mixture to the engine cylinders, while an exhaust manifold directs exhaust gases away from the engine. These aluminum manifolds are vital for engine performance.

Can Aluminum Water Manifolds Be Used for High-temperature Applications?
Aluminum water manifolds are generally not recommended for high-temperature applications.
While aluminum is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, it has a lower melting point compared to other metals like steel or brass. Most aluminum alloys used in manifold construction have melting points below typical high-temperature requirements. In applications involving extreme heat, such as those found in certain industrial processes or engine components, aluminum water manifolds may warp, deform, or even melt.
For high-temperature applications, it's advisable to choose materials like stainless steel or specialized alloys designed to withstand elevated temperatures and maintain structural integrity and safety.
Features And Benefits Of Aluminum Water Manifolds
300°F/149°C Operating Temperature Rating: This provides application flexibility, allowing the aluminium manifolds to be used in a variety of environments.
150psi Maximum Pressure Rating: This ensures the aluminum water manifolds can withstand high pressure, making them robust and reliable.
One-Piece Aluminum Extrusion: The aluminum water manifolds are made from a single piece of aluminum, ensuring there are no seams and enhancing their durability.
Various Port Sizes and Thread Types: The aluminum water manifolds are available in NPT, BSP, and SAE thread types, and various port sizes, offering installation flexibility.
Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes: These make installation easier and quicker.
Unique Dovetail Feature: This allows for paired mounting on 3/4", 1", and 1-1/2" sizes.
Standard Items in Stock: Yaheng keeps standard items in stock for quick delivery, and custom items are also available.
Optional Add-Ons: Ball valves, flowmeters, and regulators can be installed to suit specific applications, providing further customization options.
