1/2", 30 Port PolyAlloy Crimp MANABLOC (12 hot, 18 cold)

Works as described. The kit was missing the 3/4" supply nuts but I called customer service and they found the missing parts and sent them to me.

One of the best ways to plumb a house

Due to shortages locally I found what I was looking for online. Competitive price and fast service kept me from burning $4.00/ gas

The Instructions were fine. However, I didn't really have enough space to install it as instructed because I was replacing a 15-year-old system from an unknown manufacturer that didn't allow for the proper spacing of the PEX tubing (as you can see.) However, all's well that ends well. It took about a day because I had never done one before, AND I used manual crimpers - do yourself a favor and get an auto-crimper! Spend the money! My hands were cramped for days afterwards. Arrgg! Still, easy job it you take your time and double check everything. Test each line as you go. I made some mistakes by NOT actually crimping some rings a few times or actually NOT adding the crimp ring to each section of PEX tubing to begin with. I also added a plastic barrier to the back and a bag/basin/outlet for any water that may eventually leak (and it WILL leak, eventually...) to catch and drain into the garage, not the wall space. Do NOT let it leak into the wall space. EVER. I did test the line pressure and temp before I ordered, so within stated tolerance. I have a 1-inch PEX line coming into the house, 3/4-inch PEX going to the hot water heater and back from it, and 1/2-inch PEX to all the plumbing fixtures, so I ordered the appropriate connections and spare caps for the unused ports. Order extra in case you need them! Watch the installation videos, and DO NOT force the caps or connections - everything is HAND tightened! It should all connect smoothly - do NOT force - and DO NOT touch anything with a wrench. NO wrench! Wrench = BAD! NO WRENCH! Got that? Otherwise, you'll need more than a few spare parts - you'll need a new manifold again.

Replaced our old leaking manifold. Make sure you have a pex tool to clamp on new ends. Or have an HVAC technician replace it.

The ordering process and your product selection were ideal, the delivery time frame also reasonable and ontime. The only issue I had or have, is the Manifold box it came in not the delivery box, looked like it was a used unit and parts were tossed about via ripped packages, the orange caps to keep dust and debris out of the manifold were all off and split on the sides. The manifold itself look almost used, scuffed up and dirty, the labels were torn and falling off of the sheet. The reason I put not sure for a heading, is I have not installed it yet and used it in real time to confirm if it works well and consistently. I will take a few years on that review.

Haven't installed the product yet but looks to be of good quality

Used this to replace the old KITEC branched plumbing throughout the house. Pros: - Eliminates need for any fittings other than at the manifold and the fixture - no worries about leaks in walls or ceilings - Very easy to attach each branch line with the supplied compression/crimp fittings - hand tightening the compression fitting appears to be sufficient as stated in the instructions. - Can be surface mounted for retrofit installations like mine - Comes with labels for each branch - Can be installed by one person - Quicker than expected delivery, item was on backorder when I ordered but it still showed up a few days earlier than the earliest expected date. Cons: - Blank/unused cold ports all have very, very slow leaks even when valves are fully closed. Minor tweaks to loosen/tighten the valves and try and find the "right" spot for fully closed didn't stop the slow drips. Will need to put on all of the compression fittings and add short stubs of PEX with plugs crimped on to keep from leaking long term. Not a big deal, but means to use any of those spare ports in the future will require cutting off the crimped PEX to free up the valve, a minor annoyance.

Super fast delivery and worked out issues with my order promptly. Will use for all my future supply runs.

If you're looking for a great home run option, this is it. Quick connections work great, only thing I wish an option was to extend both hot and cold. There might be but I didn't see it when I was looking. Don't forget to add another bag of fittings, if you want it to look nice...
