Plumbing Question???

I want to reduce the number of pumps i am currently using. Can i use one high flow high pressure external pump to feed multiple devices like the diagram below? If so what is a good pump for this purpose. i would also like to see some pics if your using this kind of setup.

Sure, do a search on manifolds here on RC. I have similar setup now with the exceptions that I include return to main display on manifold and have the chiller on seperate pump on ACIII (pump and chiller on same trigger).

I would also add that i use a true-union ball valve then regular gate valve on reactors as it allows me to do on/off with ball valve and fine adjustments with gate valve (once gate valve is set i don't need to mess with when I'm taking off-line.
