MISUMI Europa has expanded its range of hydraulic and pneumatic manifold blocks to include a new thread design. The company's new brochure introduces G-manifolds, manifold blocks with the new 'G' type designation that are compatible with ISO 228 parallel threads (ISO 228: Pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are not made on the threads). The new cylindrical pipe thread allows a non-sealing connection to be made when used with sealing components such as O-rings.
