mated sections may then be fixed in place by extending locking pin prongs 132 through the aligned openings 162 186 163 of the male and female brackets when the outlet portion 142 of a single section 102 is in the desired orientation the valve handle 220 may nonetheless be oriented such that the valve handle 220 will be inaccessible when the present manifold is operably installed on a surface if so the valve handle 220 may be separated from the valve stem 212 by exerting a force on the valve handle 220 away from the valve spool 210 until the valve stem a 212 is pulled from the valve handle bore 218 the valve spool 210 may then be removed from the valve housing 202 reversed and inserted in an opposite vertical orientation the valve spool 210 is then reinserted into the valve housing 202 until the spool flange 244 contacts the valve housing 202 the valve stem 212 is then reinserted in the valve handle 220 until the valve stem notch 217 is seated in the raised portion 222 of the valve handle bore 218 the present manifold sections are assembled in the desired order so as to deliver fluid to a specific pattern of fixtures after the sections are in the desired order end sections 106 are mated onto the terminal single or double sections and the assembled manifold may be fastened to a.
