It is a SMC solenoid manifold. It is available through any SMC distributor (Motion industries etc). It has a common pressure input, and has ports for the solenoids on top and quick disconnect fittngs on the side, 2 for each solenoid. Block off plates are available if you decide to remove a solenoid or cannot purchase a small enough manifold. (in our case we needed ports for 7 solenoids, and thus had to purchase an 8 port manifold, we blocked off the 8th port) I think they come in manifolds of 2 and larger (maybe 4, I can't remember) and I recall them being in multiples of 2.

Hope that helps!
