HEADERS
Overview
Custom Stainless Steel Header Manifolds are engineered distribution assemblies designed to control, split, or collect process flow across multiple branches with precise geometry and unmatched reliability. ACE Stainless fabricates manifolds for sanitary, industrial, high-purity, and high-pressure systems using fully welded stainless steel pipe or sanitary tubing.
These manifolds are ideal for OEM system builders, process engineers, utility distribution networks, CIP/SIP skids, industrial batching systems, filtration trains, and advanced hobbyist fabrication requiring professional-grade stainless assemblies.

Integration & Fabrication Workflow
- 1. Design & Review: ACE evaluates drawings, sketches, 3D models, and system requirements.
- 2. Layout Engineering: Branch spacing, flow balancing, valve placement, and service access optimized.
- 3. Fabrication: Welded outlets, ferrules, angled branches, flanged ends, and valve-ready configurations.
- 4. Finishing: Passivation, polishing, electropolish options for sanitary or high-purity service.
- 5. Quality Assurance: Dimensional verification, weld inspection, documentation, leak testing.
- 6. Packaging & Labeling: Multi-port manifolds protected with caps, tags, and line numbers.
- 7. Field Integration: Manifolds ship installation-ready for clamp-up, bolt-up, or weld-in placement.
