There are many different types of manifolds. When connecting PEX Tubing to a manifold it is important to remember a few questions. First, what size and type of ports or outlets does the manifold have? Next, can I hook up the PEX Tubing directly to these ports? If you can't hook the tubing directly you will need a fitting assembly to attach the PEX Tubing to the manifold. Finally be sure that the Manifold can handle the size of tubing you are ordering. The most common type of PEX Tubing is 1/2" this can hook up to a Truflow, Brass, or safelink manifold using 1/2" fitting assemblies. These part numbers are A4020500 for compression style, and Q4020500, for Propex Style(requires Propex Tool). Tommorow we will discuss how to hook up the supply and return lines.
