Optional Installation Accessories:
Loop End Cap - These allow you to cap off a loop of the manifold if it will not be used.
Actuators
- Thermal Actuator for Bluefin Manifolds
If you want to use your manifold to heat multiple zones, you can purchase return side actuators that work along side thermostats. The actuators act as zone valves to allow you to use one manifold to control the temperature in different rooms independently.
The VA 80 adapter ring is also required when using an actuator with a Bluefin manifold, which you can find here.
Supply/Return Adapter Options
- MA-1014C: Supply/Return Adapter to 1" & 1-1/4" Copper
- MA-10MPT: Supply/Return Adapter to 1" Male NPT
- MA-10FPT: Supply/Return Adapter to 1" Female NPT
- MA-75MPT: Supply/Return Adapter to 3/4" Male NPT

Product Q&A
6 QuestionsQ: Can this system be installed upside down where the pen lines come from the top?
Asked by Eric Peterson 1 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffHi Eric. You can install the manifold upside down, however, you won't be able to read the visual flow meters if they are upside down.
Q: None of the fitting assembly options include an fitting for 3/4" pex. Can you use this with 3/4" radiant lines? If so, what are the fittings you'd use?
Asked by Marshall 2 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffHi Marshall, thanks for writing in. These loops cannot be used with 3/4" PEX, as the largest fitting assemblies offered for it are for 5/8" PEX.
Q: Are there non-compression type fittings that I can use to attach to this manifold? I am using 3/8 watts onix tubing and would like to connect it to this manifold via a 3/8 barb type fitting with a stainless steel hose clamp. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse Staffwe are unaware of Onix fittings that would be compatible with this manifold.
Q: On a 5 circut manifold can I run 2 gal. min through each circut? What is the flow rate range on the meters?
Asked by solar 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffEach circuit can handle a maximum of 1.6 GPM.
I simply used a single zone, variable speed pump brand "G". I opened up all the flow meters to the max and it easily heats my 1200 sqft home with hard wood radiant floor.
The answer depends on three factors; (1) The pipe size connected to the Five circuit manifold (2) Circuit length (3) Density of the fluid (ie if antifreeze is used the density is higher as is viscosity) In general if you are using 1/2 circuit tubing most systems will circulate at any where from .25 to 1.25 gpm per circuit. Pushing this to 2 gpm per circuit takes a lot of pump power and most manifold flow indicators max out at 1.3 gpm. Higher flow rates above 1 gpm are possible when using 5/8 and 3/4 inch pex tube for circuits but manifolds for this size are typically set up with mini ball valves on a copper "T" drilled manifold and likely only come into use on snowmelt and large warehouse applications which may use longer tube lengths and larger pipe sizes to accommodate the pressure drop created by the increased length. Hope this helps.
Q: In the description we see •Fitting for both PEX and Multilayer Pipe Does I mean that the fitting are include? are do I need to get some Rifeng MA-50P (for 1/2 pex) thanks
Asked by 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe fittings are not included with the manifold, unless you get one of the packages that comes with the fittings. For 1/2" PEX, this package is part number RHM05-50PK. It includes ten MA-50P fittings (one for each supply and return).
Q: What is the distance between the supply and return valves? (inches on center)
Asked by cory 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe distance between those valves measures approximately 8 inches (203 mm).
If I understand you correctly, you are asking about the distance between the horizontal centerline between the main Supply and Return manifolds rather than the vertical center to center distance between individual circuit outlets. I'll go up to the shop next week to review this, but my memory is that it's about 8". The manifolds are also offset relative to the rear plane to which the manifold hangers would be attached so as to enable the upper manifold to easily receive piping behind the lower manifold. That offset of the lower manifold is about 1 1/2".
