Radiant Floor Manifold

After reading some of the negative reviews, I was somewhat concerned with ordering these manifolds. I ordered a 2, 3 and an 8 loop manifold for a 3 zone system. When the manifolds arrived, they looked like they were manufactured in the same plant as a previous manifold I bought that I paid significantly more for. Everything assembled quickly and I had no leaks. It looks to me like they have updated the design to work with standard tapered pipe fittings. I had no issue with the 1" threads bottoming out before they got tight. They look like standard tapered pipe threads, not British or fuel threads some reviewers were having issues with earlier. I have been very happy with these manifolds any would buy them again. I can't speak to the longevity but hopefully they will last .

Excellent manifold. High quality and much cheaper than other brands. Comes with all the compression fittings for 1/2” Pex.

Pretty decent quality

Everything appears to be good quality so far. Been using it for a couple months now. Only issue I had is one of the ports isn't being used and while it was turned off so water wouldn't come out, it is now dripping. This could be due to lower temps recently and my wood boiler not running during that time. Easy enough to use a piece of PEX tubing and cap it off. No instructions included, but it's pretty simple and plenty of resources on Google.

As the other reviewer mentioned, you may have to replace the o rings on the larger fittings, because they bottom out. This was a fairly simple task accomplished at my local Ace with little drama and delay. Else, I've had two of them manifolds installed for over a year now, and they've been in my radiant garage and house floor heating system through a MI winter with no problem. As far as I can tell, these Chinese stainless steel manifolds are all of comparable quality. If you want a little more comfort in warranty/service, maybe look to SupplyHouse for Bluefin or something, otherwise save a few more bucks with these guys on Amazon.

Nothing is wrong. I buy the wrong purchase. This is his floor not as water system.

Easy to install, best value and it is been working for a year without any isuue.

I used another brand for the first part of this project and had to source separately the 1" threaded to 1/2 PEX adapters for the send and return of each branch. Plus, buy a crimp tool. This brand included compression adapters for 1/2" PEX that requires no special tools and worked perfectly with no leaks. Keep in mind that on all of these foreign made brands of manifolds, the threads are not tapered and require a generous amount of PTFE tape. Teflon tape or liquid compound will not do, as I found out on the first go-round.
