What kind of ports are in Viega MANABLOC manifolds?
They are constructed from durable, corrosion resistant and lead-free polymer and are available with 1/2″ or 3/8″ ports with compression, press and crimp style connectors to accommodate any type of PEX tubing. All ports (branches) feature 1/4-turn style, replaceable and color-coded (red and blue) valves, with a valve key included in every package.
What do you need to know about MANABLOC manifolds?
Valve key (to open and close individual ports; attaches to the manifold to prevent accidental loss). Sticky labels to mark individual ports. Supply adapters which allow to connect the main hot and cold water supply lines to the ManaBloc. These are available in 3/4″ and 1″ sizes in male NPT, crimp, press and compression styles.
What do supply adapters do for a MANABLOC?
Supply adapters which allow to connect the main hot and cold water supply lines to the ManaBloc. These are available in 3/4″ and 1″ sizes in male NPT, crimp, press and compression styles. Supply end cap is almost always used to cap off the secondary cold water inlet.
Which is better PEX crimp or Viega press?
PEX Crimp method has been in use the longest comparing to press and compression and has proven to be very reliable. Viega Press method should be the choice when the rest of the PEX plumbing system is connected with press fittings and tools. Q: What are the advantages of the ManaBloc over DIY manifold set.

Can a MANABLOC be connected to a PEX supply line?
Connected with PEX supply lines a Manabloc can replace a traditional pipe plumbing system, in many cases offering savings on installation. Each line has it very own shut-off valve. The main water supply connects to the Manabloc plumbing system to channel cold water, and the water heater connects to provide hot water.
