A manifold associated with a contrast injector system. The manifold may include a first fluid inlet, a second fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a main passageway, and a valve. The first fluid inlet, second fluid inlet, and fluid outlet may be in fluid communication with the main passageway. The first fluid inlet, second fluid inlet, or fluid outlet can be connected to a conduit for communicating fluid, such as a fluid at high pressure. At least one of the first fluid inlet, second fluid inlet, or fluid outlet can have a surface finish that is in contact with the conduit.
