Best product for plumbing

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.

Easy Installation and Usage

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.

Great 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!

Manabloc is good

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.

PEX Tube, as expected

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.

just about perfect

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.

Definitely a DIY Project!

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.

Magnificent

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.

Easy, flexible system

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 is not required, however it is suggested. The port caps for 1/2" manifolds are SKU 36205.

Clamp connections will work on the crimp Manabloc.

I just bought some of the clinch clamp rings at the hardware store and I found them to be much easier to use. Just make sure you have the screw cap (for connecting to the manifold) on the correct side of the clamp before you secure it or you might not be able to get it back over the ring.

Q: If all ports on the 24 port Manabloc are going to be used on this kit , what other fittings are needed to make the tubing connections to it?

This kit is just about as all-in-one as it gets. You just need the pex pipe and the copper crimp rings (3/4 and 1/2). One major note, there is more cold then hot outlets. Sent from my iPhone

As long as you have the crimping tool, the tubing cutter and the pex itself you won't need anything else. It's a great system and SO easy for DIYers! Good luck!

You just need the crimp rings, the kit comes with 24 connectors.

Q: CRIS-41243 - Indicates it includes 24 port crimp connections..does this include the brass pex fittings and caps? Does a port need to be capped or can one rely on the valve?

It contains the 24 crimp fittings and nuts for the distribution ports. Unused ports can be capped off for an extra layer of protection and to give the unit a more finished look, but this is not a necessity.

MANABLOCs work with SharkBite PEX tubing, but SharkBite fittings cannot be connected directly to the MANABLOC.

Q: Do I need to have a cold water supply outlet and can I simply cap the cold water outlet. In other words, most installations that I've seen have the cold water supply (from my pump) enter the Manabloc on the bottom, have the cold water supply exit (to the water heater) on the top, and have the hot water enter the Manabloc on the top. However, can I have the cold water supply (from the pump) 'T' above the Manabloc such that one side of the 'T' enters the Manabloc at the cold supply with the other half of the 'T' supplying cold water straight to the water heater. The hot water is returned to the Manabloc via the hot water supply. Obviously, I would need to cap the bottom of the Manabloc if this method of installation is okay.

The bottom port is for cold water only. You can cap it off as long as you're not running a cold line from the MANABLOC to your water heater. The cap you'd need is part 53601. Teeing off the main line to the water heater as you described is the most common method used when installing a MANABLOC.

Q: I was told to run 3/4" to my shower but the outlets are only 1/2". What is the sense of running 3/4" pex line if it's bottlenecked at the outlet port because of the 1/2" outlet?? Am I missing something or is there a bloc with changeable outlets? thanks

Asked by Jason 15 years ago

It is not possible to run 3/4" lines from MANABLOC ports and, as you said, switching over in-line would not result in any added flow. Your only option would be to tee off the main line and run a separate line to the shower.

The inlet on your shower is most likely 1/2". No point in 3/4" tubing.

Q: After ordering this product, I am confused as to which is better to use and why, SS Clamp rings or copper crimp rings, whats your thoughts?

The rings are equally reliable if the fitting is made properly. Clamp rings resist corrosion better, as they are made of stainless steel, and they tend to be easier to remove. It is really a matter of preference and the tool that you already have or that feels most comfortable for you.

Yes, the Viega crimp MANABLOC works with stainless steel clamp rings in addition to copper crimp rings.
