Pex Manifold


I'm installing a second full bathroom on second floor of my house.


Do I need a manifold? Or should I just splice a pex line in my basement up to my bath and branch to each fixture from there?


Thank You.

Re: Pex Manifold


Ask your plumber, or better yet, have your plumber do this job for you. Cause you don't know what you want to do.

run a 3/4" line up to your bathroom and split off with 1/2" lines to the fixtures.

I don't know about you Ron, but someone like Doubleaction from Hell, MI may not take a liking to someone like you from Eugene, Oregon & he may just put a red hot pitch fork in your butt.

Is that right?

Why do carpenters come across gay as gay. I mean, "a red hot pitch fork in your butt," sounds plain perverted. Hey, are you guys part of Celtic's Gay Job Trailer?

YES YES YES

You asked. Yes I am saying that

Ever hear of permits and inspections, or do you always do illegal work?

I suppose you know the plumbing codes he uses, if you don't then you should not even be replying to this thread.
