Plumbing question

[Frank Cwikla]

Hi All,

Please help me identify this device. It's a metal cylinder, with 2 ports at the back and 4 ports at the front. Two static lines are connected to the ports at the back. There is a short piece of tubing, that connects 2 front ports together. The other 2 front ports have tubes that go to the instruments.

The device is mounted at the back of the bulkhead, behind the controls hook-up area. The front ports protrude through the bulkhead. It looks like a factory installed device. I have 3 pictures of this installation at the following site:

Just planing an upgrade to instruments

As an admin I fixed your links, they work both now.

About your problem, I think It's just an "bridge" though your bulkhead.

It sounds to me like a "condenser bottle"  These used to be used on some varios to dampen or affect their response.  If it is no longer plumbed in it is probably not used by the varios you curently have installed.

You can call me toy, or you can call me Roy, but you doesn't has to call me  "dust boy".  I'm  scramblin Kory, left wing now in primer and blocked.  Makes a baby's butt look like a corn cob  finish.  Ha.

Thank you all, who answered my question.
Eventually, I asked people at Alexander Schleicher egelflugzeugbau GmbH, and they sent me this reply:

"Dear Mr. Cwikla,

The device you asked us about, just connects the lines from the static ports in the fuselage (You have to do this somewhere).
It averages both pressures and distributes the resulting pressure to
four lines out.
Since you only need two, the other two lines out are closed by interconnecting them. There is no magic about it, it is just hollow.

Part No is: 150.11.0007

Best regards,
Michael Greiner"
