A filtration system includes two end manifolds formed from blocks which
are adapted to receive two or more reverse osmosis filtration tubes and
to provide separate flow channels for the feed and filtered flows through
the tubes. The end manifolds are machined from a block of nylon or
similar resilient material and have cylindrical grooves formed to receive
the outer and inner tubes of the filtration tubes and annular grooves
formed within these cylindrical grooves to restrain O rings which seal
the outer and inner tubes have channels formed between the cylindrical
grooves which receive the outer and inner tubes of the filtration tubes
which channels provide separate flow paths for the feed and filtered
flows.
