The present invention relates generally to manifolds adapted to receive a fluid stream from one location and distribute it to a plurality of different locations. More specifically, one embodiment of the present invention includes an in-line, generally cylindrical, manifold adapted to receive high volumes of fluid and distribute it to a plurality of discharge nozzles. It is envisioned that these smaller volume discharge nozzles would be interconnected to hoses, wherein the fluid is transported to various locations for a preferred use. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the manifold would be used to transport treated water to various decontamination units to treat victims of chemical, biological, or nuclear attacks.
