Viega recommends using a minimum of two mounting brackets on manifolds with three ports and larger.
1. Measure the distance (A) between the rst and last set of manifold ports (as shown). Using a straight
edge, mark dimension (A) on mounting surface. Ensure the mounting surface is level and suitable to
support the weight of the manifold lled with water.
2. Align the 1¼" lock clips* (B) with the marks transferred on the mounting surface from Step 1 and
attach them using a 1" or longer screw appropriate for the mounting surface.
3. With the lock clips in the open position, insert the manifold body into the clips, centering them between
the end ports.
4. Push evenly on both ends of the manifold until lock clips snap manifold body rmly into place.
NOTE: Lock the clips into their second locking position to adequately secure the manifold.
* Lock clips sold separately (part number 58075).
