Most shipyards design and then either purchase or produce the main manifold piping assembly. Young & Cunningham can help cut costs because: there is no shipyard engineering or design work needed other than to establish the size, lo- cation and type of connections re- quired; manifolds are supplied com- plete with valves integrally mounted; manifolds are delivered as a completed assembly, pretested and ready for use; and as the main manifold assembly incorporates the valve body and, in effect, eliminates the valve body, a much more com- pact manifold arrangement can be achieved.
