redtop Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 so had them delivered today, thing of beauty ? Anywhoo, I will be feeding them from one end only, and will put a short bit of copper on the other to support the manifolds. Here is the stupid question:- what fittings do I need to feed the water in and for copper at tother end? these are the bad boys https://www.jtmplumbing.co.uk/pipe-fittings-c433/hep2o-brass-manifolds-c661/hep2o-four-port-valved-manifold-15-tm-tf-fp-p21691 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 You will need a male BSP connector and a reel of ptfe tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fit a cap end on the blank bit you wish to use as a support. You can also use brass 1" munson rings to go around the whole thing if that is easier?

Also think about adding a drain tap on the end of each manifold. Makes draining down easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
