A cooling manifold assembly for cooling combustion turbine components is provided. The manifold assembly comprises at least a first and second connector box. Each one of the first and second two connector boxes comprises a housing. A fluid supply conduit and return conduit are securely coupled with the housing. The fluid supply conduit is adapted to be in fluid communication with a cooling fluid for cooling a hot turbine part. The return conduit is adapted to be in fluid communication with a cooling fluid that has extracted heat from a turbine hot part. A cooling fluid supply pipe for supplying a cooling fluid to the first and second connector boxes is provided. The supply pipe comprises a side wall that defines a coolant flow channel with a first opening at a first end, and a second opening at a second end. The first end of the fluid supply pipe is mechanically coupled in fluid communication with the fluid supply conduit of the first connector box. The second end of the cooling fluid supply pipe is mechanically coupled in fluid communication with the fluid supply conduit of the at least second connector box. A fluid return pipe for conducting a cooling fluid that has extracted heat from a hot turbine part is provided. The return pipe comprises a side wall defining a return flow channel with a first opening at a first end and second opening at a second end.
