A fluid manifold usable with a welder and air compressor combination. The
manifold is constructed of a single unitary manifold block and which is
divided into two separate fluid communication systems that are isolated
from each other by the manifold block itself. Each of the separate fluid
communications systems provides various channels and external ports to
access those fluid channels to enable the welder and air compressor
combination to be more easily assembled and constructed by locating the
manifold in a convenient location within the welder and air compressor
combination and which has the necessary fluid channels and conduits
already formed within the manifold so that the manufacturer or assembler
can simply affix the proper fluid lines and system components to the
manifold in carrying out the construction of the welder and air
compressor combination and be assured that the proper fluid communication
will be achieved.
