The ability for the homeowner or plumbing company to turn off individual water supply lines through the home can help with not only water conservation but with diagnostics as well. Leak detection becomes much easier for plumbing companies, as they can control water flow to each fixture to isolate the offending pipe. Re-piping your whole house with PEX pipes is an excellent alternative to your current galvanized pipes, as well as a much cheaper option when compared to copper.

PEX pipes are rustproof, corrosion-resistant, retain more heat and, can expand up to three times its size to prevent freeze damage. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

With this manifold you are welcome to take a shower, incidentally start the rinse cycle on a load of laundry, and flush the toilet…all at the same time! Next time we plan on adding a drain spigot on the bottom of both the hot and cold lines within the manifold, after the shutoffs.

By adding spigots it is easy to shut off incoming water and drain out the manifold. Note: you want to place the spigots on the bottom of the manifold on the house side of the shutoff. What if you want to make a change or repair? It is also a must have for winterizing a house. In the meantime, another set of couplings are added outside of the manifold cabinet. Installing a washing machine water box is an additional step for this manifold.

Next time…. At this point all PEX lines should be run to their final connections and be hanging in the wall, ready to connect to the manifold. You want to secure all the lines throughout the house first so that you are not surprised with any runs that come up slightly short. If that happens you have two choices:. The obvious answer: if a manifold is placed in a stud wall it will need three adjacent bays.

One bay is for the manifold and the next two, to the left and right of the first, are open for plumbing to run from the manifold to the attic. The not so obvious answer: the available space in the attic in addition to the surrounding wall bays. We are not just talking about left to right. Longer runs with fewer connections also mean fewer chances of leaks and water damage, smoother bends and turns, and reduction of line noise and water hammer.

Manifold Systems are used so each branch line only feeds one fixture. The Manifold greatly reduces pressure fluctuations and temperature swings that can cause scalding.

I bought a 16 port manifold a little over a year ago for my new house, and this last week it started leaking at the hot water supply connection. My plumber could never get the provided fittings to not leak so went with a different fitting. Which seemed to work till last week. Was wondering if I just need new supply fittings or a whole new Manifold? Im in a mess at the moment. Thank you! Thank you for reaching out to us. We would like to send you two fittings. One is the plastic inlet adapter 1 in.

PEX x 1 in. FPT of the plastic adapter. Based off of your description below, my best guess is that the O-ring in the brass adapter may be worn out due to thermal expansion, or that the brass fitting was over tightened on the plastic adapter and over time created a small stress fracture in the threads.

Please let me know once you install the new fittings if the leaks still exists. If the leak still exists, we will replace your 16 port manifold. Please email your ship to address UPS to ben mosackgroup. Last March, I purchased the CP 12 port manifold and 2 weeks ago the hot water supply line started leaking at the brass adapter.

Can you help me out with what else I should try? We would like to assist you with your issue. Please email ben mosackgroup. Also, if I add a downstream mini block ie 2 or 3 port is this still recommended? Follow this step by connecting the plumbing manifold to the main water supply line. This system is regularly used in residence where all the fixtures are located nearby. Sub-manifold systems are set up through the main water pipe which is then branched off at individual locations closest to the fixtures.

The first step of installing a PEX manifold for heating is placing the manifold directly in the middle of the residence. This will allow for easy distribution of the PEX tubing to all areas of the residence. Note: This area should be remotely close to a water heater, furnace, or boiler. The next step is to run all of the PEX tubing to their designated areas of application. Once the tubing is run through all its designated zones, connect the PEX pipe directly to the manifold using a PEX connection.

Lastly make sure the tubing is connected to the manifold, mount the manifold on the wall and connect it to a water supply line. Components of a Manifold. They are used to achieve the designed flow rate. PEX manifolds have made the plumbing and heating industry that much easier.
