Title: Pneumatic terminal and gauge assembly

Abstract: A terminal and gauge assembly which provides connections for lines to or from individual fluid pressure circuits, such as the pneumatic circuits of a pneumatically operated control system includes a duct with a removable cover. The lines run longitudinally inside the duct. A bar located on the cover outside of the duct is formed with spaced chambers. The lines are terminated at couplings which extend into the chambers and serve to fasten the bar to the cover of the duct. Gauges or test points are mounted on the bar and connect to the chambers so that the pressure or other parameter associated with each circuit may be monitored.
