Rear-Panel Manifold Pressure Connections
The 8270A comes with one of three types of manifolds installed:
 NPT
 BSP
 SAE
The type of manifold is marked on its lower right corner. Table 4 lists the different
manifolds and port sizes. Manifold installation is explained in the Maintenance
section.

[1] Requires the use of PTFE tape on the male adapter to ensure a good seal.
[2] Bonded seal is required to ensure a good seal.
[3] O-ring is required (which is normally included on the fitting) to ensure a good seal.
A lines and fittings kit can be purchased to supply the common adapters used to
connect to the manifolds. See User-Replaceable Parts and Accessories for more
information.
The 8370A is available with only one type of manifold block. The pressure
connection types are:
 Supply DH500
 Test DH500
 Reference 1/4 inch NPT
 Exhaust 1/4 inch NPT
 Vent 1/8 inch NPT
DH500 is a cone and threaded high-pressure connection equivalent to AE F250C
or HiP HF4.
Pneumatic schematics are shown in Figures 4 and 5.
