Not sure what it is called Attached File I had to move it all and I want a better one. This one feels like it’s going to break every time I turn one of the valves. This is also overkill for space. Maybe half of what is needed. Bonus if I can get in amazon or home depot |

Home Depot - Manifolds I always assume there is a difference between Pex A vs Pex B as it relates to anything Pex so make sure you are using correct type for your type of pipe. |
| You can also just make your own manifold. I did that at my last house as they never seem to use full port ball valves. Making your own with a splitter and your own full port valves gives you the same manifold functionality with better water pressure. And you can do maintenance only where needed as replacing the entire manifold. |
| I used a Manabloc system when I built my house. It’s fine and looks cool. And it’s neat to be able to isolate a certain line. But I’ve never had to in the 9years we’ve been in the house. But if I did everything over again, I’d probably just plumb it with normal trunk to fixtures. |

I will have to check again. One is more DIY and one I thought geared towards the pro. Originally Posted By -Obsessed-: You can also just make your own manifold.

And you can do maintenance only where needed as replacing the entire manifold. this may be the way to go. The previous owner of our place did this super complex system in a mouse palace (place was sealed and insulated so poorly and filled wit rodents)  This is just going to have a bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet. I may add another sink, outdoor spigot, and maybe some day a washer /dryer. That is it. How do I split the bigger plastic 3/4" to the smaller 1/2" plastic? He had metal ball valves for each line going out of the manifold too so I still have those. I have a bunch of splitter too for the smaller pipe. What I tore out and am fixing (building already gutted, spray foamed, and now just running lines to bathroom ) Attached File |

You can do it all with pex but I would use copper. 3/4x3/4x1/2” t fittings. But to be honest it’s more cost effective to buy pre made manifold.
