PEX MANIFOLDS
Manifold or Home-Run Plumbing Method
The manifold or home-run plumbing method provides a distribution point to all xtures. This method uses PEX tubing with a manifold consisting of the same number
of ports as xtures available, and push or barb ttings. Manifolds oer a variety of benets:
• Control water at one central location.
• Faster delivery of hot water.
• Save Time and Money - Manifolds allow you to make longer continuous runs of PEX pipe, meaning you buy fewer ttings and spend less time installing.
• Fewer Possible Leaks - Longer continuous runs with fewer crimp connections means fewer chances of leaks and avoiding the possibility of thousands of dollars in water
damage.
• Controls Scalding - When plumbed so that each branch line feeds only one xture, the manifold greatly reduces pressure uctuations and temperature swings that
cause scalding.
• Quiet Plumbing - Longer runs of pipe using fewer ttings means smoother bends and turns which reduces line noise and “water hammer”.
