Most Liked Positive Review

Good price, good value.

These manifolds are a good value for the price. I am impressed with the features that come on these manifolds. As a professional plumber, I will most certainly use these manifolds again. It will help keep my cost down, and provide more value for my customers heating dollar.

affordable, but mediocre quality

I purchased 5 of these for a large heating project. They are obviously at a nice price point, but they achieve this through the use of some less expensive parts. The flow valves in particular are very low quality. I have had some issues also with internal clogs in the manifold assembly, all of which have been due to the flow valves thread (plastic) being machined by the manifold body (stainless steel) when they were installed at the factory. The flow valves will fill with system water during use, and can become very hard to read once the water is not clear. I also fail to see the point of providing these manifolds at more than 8 loops, as the 1" inlet cannot provide sufficient flow for more than 8 loops. That being said, they are doing the job, and were much less expensive than the Wirsbo manifolds.

Easy install...great price.

Just installed a 4-port to replace my old one. Went together easy. No leaks. Easy to bleed the air from. Only issue I had was that the old manifold didnt have the ball valve/temp. guage on it, so I had to fight the PEX a bit. Great manifold for the price.

FLOW CONTROL VALVES LOWEST QUALITY

I PURCHED THIS 10 ZONE HEAR A YEAR AND HALF AGO. FLOW CONTROL VALVE CRACKED WHILE I WAS AWAY, WATER EVERYWHERE. REPLACEMENT VALVES ARE 2 - 3 MONTHS BACK ORDER, SO MUST BE HAPPENING TO EVERYONE. DONT PURCHACE PRODUCT WITH SUCH A LOW QUALITY VALVE OR YOU TO MAY HAVE WATER EVERYWHERE.

after 3 years of service

On the third heating season I've now loss 3 of the flow meters . Just found the garage flooded. That being said I realized after viewing some pictures "then some common sense" I may have the flow meters on the wrong side of system. They're on the supply side and believe they just can't handle the heat. Got in a jam and used to feed cast radiators at 180 degress to make things worse and may be over heating the unit. Good thing is 3 replacements are under $30 and I will be reworking system to place meters on the return side.

Broke open after 3 months

You get what you pay for. 3 months after install and using it successfully all winter, I go downstairs to see the flow meter randomly split open and is spraying water all over my basement.

Great Manifold for the price

Installed manifold for radiant slab. Install was good, manifold looks great always a hit with homeowners looking for that extra touch. Easy to install, easy to set up. Should not that it doesn't come with mounting hardware so be sure to get some stainless screws.

Expensive but does the job

These one piece 10 loop manifolds are far superior to Mr. Pex modular manifolds. No matter what you do, the modular manifolds leak between them. Although expensive, the one piece design is much better. They look better too.

Beautiful Product

nice product easy set up and connect. Probably more than necessary for my use. Equal runs probably don't need that much balancing. Fun to look at and see the flow when pump is on. [...]

Q: Can the manifold be set up for supply and return lines to the right and drains to the left without taking it all apart?

Asked by Erik 14 years ago

The only way to do this would be to mount the manifold facing the wall or upside down. Note that if you mount it upside down, the flow meters will not be able to display accurate readings.

No, Rifeng manifolds can only connect to 3/8", 1/2", and 5/8" tubing (although you could transition in-line between 5/16" and one of those sizes).

Q: hi, does adjusting the flow meters on the individual loop supply and return shut off the loop? i have a leak on a new install and want to isolate the loops?

Asked by kj 14 years ago

You can use the flow meters on the supply manifold to cut off flow to a loop. Turning the included wrench counter-clockwise reduces flow.

Was this review helpful to you?
- Larry B

It will isolate the supply but if you did not put isolation valves on the return you will need to close off the whole return manifold. What I did is put supply and return isolation valves on each zone just for that reason.

If you turn the adjustment to the close it does.

Yes, the flow meter can be closed completely as can the other valve.

Was this review helpful to you?

Yes. Just tighten down the flow control knobs all the way and the loop will be shut off. I have a couple unused ports shut off this way.

Yes, I believe if u tighten flow control all the way down, no water flows thru that loop.

- phoneman

Apparently on the older manifolds it did shut off the flow, however I just got off the phone with supplyhouse support and the new one's do not. :-( If I had known that they didn't shut off the loop I might have purchased a different manifold. I now believe I will need to place a valve on each loop so I can isolate individual loops for repair.

Yes, the replacement flow meters are part MP3720172.

Was this review helpful to you?

Yes, you can replace just a flow meter. I actually just had one leak myself, and called to talk to a pex supply representative. They needed the model number of the manifold, and sent one out right away. it simply unscrews and the new one threads right back in. The replacement flow meter I received looks just a little different, but functions just fine, and fit perfectly. I think it may just be an updated model from the one I had.

Q: I'm thinking of using the Rifeng MA-ACT Thermal Actuator with this manifold on each loop. Can multiple actuators be wired to a single thermostat? For example, a 12 loop manifold, with 12 actuators, 4 actuators wired to a single thermostat creating 3 heating "zones" (1 per thermostat).

Asked by Robert 14 years ago

Add your answer

Verified Author and ReplyVerified Reply- PexSupply Staff

You can do this. Just make sure that the control you use can handle 20 VAs worth of actuators for each zone and about 63 VA in total (each actuator is rated at 5 VA and thermostats usually use 1 VA each). If you want to use a four-wire actuator, please note that MP700 actautors are also compatible with Rifeng manifolds.

Hi You can wire the actuators in any combination you desire creating various heating zones

Q: If I flip the manifold so the manifold inlets are on the top, will the flow meter still function ?

Asked by dave 14 years ago

In my experience, no. The flow meters only work if they are on the top. You can still adjust the flow, but will have no metering.

Was this review helpful to you?
-

No the flow meter needs to be on the bottom for them to work! I had to do a couple of my zones this way and it really didn't make a difference for me, yea it's nice to see them and they look great but in the long run, I just wanted good constant heat which I got!

Was this review helpful to you?
-

Depends on the make and model; generally no. I think PEX sells Reifing, or something like that, and I know these will not work inverted

Was this review helpful to you?

No, the flow meters will not register correctly but everything else will perform as well as in the proper position.

Q: Will 3/8" tube connect to this manifold using 3/8" compression nuts?

Asked by Charlie 14 years ago

Verified Author and ReplyVerified Reply- PexSupply Staff

The manifold included in this package works with 3/8" EK 20 fittings. We would recommend that you purchase the RHM04 manifold (rather than the 1/2" package) and eight MA-38P fittings separately.

Was this review helpful to you?
-

The connection on the manifold will accept a compression fitting of a few sizes, but you will obviously need to buy the whole fitting not just the nut. Look for part "3/8 <http://www.pexsupply.com/Rifeng-MA-38P-3-8-PEX-to-EK20-Loop-Fitting-Assembl y> " PEX to EK20 Loop Fitting Assembly" on their web site (for a Rifeng manifold).
