24 Port Brass PEX Crimp MANABLOC Package (Crimp Supply)

Completely remodeled my log home and decided to give the manabloc a try. It worked perfectly and without any leaks. I will definitely use again.

This product was used to replumb our raised bungalow using 8 hot and 12 cold lines - still room for expansion with the 24 port. The kit had everything required to get it done. Instructions were fine for getting it mounted -- went with a surface mounting for it on 3/4 board. Make sure you have enough room around the Manabloc to permit your output lines to bend straight into the Manabloc. I could see how lines that are not straight may put a strain on the fittings. Hand tightened fittings, and not a leak to be seen. Make sure you spend some time planning out the input lines to the Manabloc as well --- if you have a cramped area like mine, you'll need to plan as supply lines only bend so much (and since it is PEX we want to use as few fittings as possible right? :-) ) Even pressure, and in fact we believe we see more pressure on some lines. Nice to have shutoffs for individual lines now as before had only the main water line shutoff for everything if work needed to be done. Excellent product.

I used the 24 port Manablock to replumb my house. Converted from galvanized steel and copper to PEX. Completed job in 10 Hrs. with me and a friend. We are not pros but very compitent. There was nothing like it that I could find online and the price was great!

Pretty easy to install for a home owner first-timer. My application is for all new plumbing in old house. Unless you have access to a stud bay, you will have to construct a support structure out of plywood and 2x4s, drilling out support holes at each port fitting and at the manifold inlet/outlet in order to protect the somewhat fragile ports from any bending stress . Not hard to do, but plan accordingly! I mounted the 'unit' on bottom of joists on the basement ceiling. Also, order your caps for unused ports ahead of time. I was shorted one port fitting and it took a couple tries to fix - these are specific to this product and can't be purchase locally.

Yep, it worked as planned. Very flexible compared to stuff purchased at home centers, worked well. Re-ran entire house from manifold with PEX. Used regular brass fittings, and crimp rings/tool.

I just got done installing this in my house as we get ready for some major renovations. It works wonderfully, and the install was a SUPER easy. The valves in the manifold work smoothly, though they do not have positive stops. This took me all of ten seconds to train myself to get used to. If the key is horizontal, or close to it, it is on. If the key is vertical, or close to it, it is off. The connections for each line connect to the main body with a slide-in coupler with an O ring. This allows you to attach the coupler when the line is not connected to the manifold, so it is easy to connect and get in place. This is a good thing because the connectors end up VERY close. The mounting system for the manifold seemed very flimsy. It mounts on four small plastic feet. I choose to anchor every tube a few inches from the manifold. Using 1/2" PEX and snap in connnectors I ripped a two 2x boards to 15/16" and mounted them down each side of the manifold to hold my anchors. It worked perfectly. I would buy this unit again, and I would reccomend it to anyone looking to add control and pressure balancing to their house.

Purchased the 14 port crimp manifold when I re-plumbed our lake cabin. Comes with an excellent set of instructions for mounting and showing how to run the lines. This was the first time I have ever used PEX plumbing and was amazed at how easy it is to do! The MANABLOC manifold is well made and had all the parts needed to connect the PEX lines to the manifold.

We replaced our old copper with this and it is working fantastic. We can run a dish washer, washing machine, flush a toilet and wash out hands while having and shower with almost no change in pressure or temp change.

Used in a retro-fit project, changing 100 year old house over from galvanized to PEX. Manifold was easy to install and no connection drips at all.

It does just what we wanted it to do. Great product.
