Joining 2 manifolds together

[Super_Paulie]

preference on joining 2 of these together? Not the same as, but very similar to the Hep20 equivalent. Threaded and a locking nut but also a rubber washer. Same on the other end but to insert a threaded insert and then a drain cock. I was going to plaster fernox potable on the threads but im open to suggestions as to why its better to use PTFE in this instance. The manifold instructions dont mention anything, which seems dangerous.

I used the 'O' ring with silicone grease and the locking nut. Didn't have a problem.

IIRC they are Reliance valves but it was several years ago so may be wrong.

I know it was a while ago but what did you use to hold your manifolds in place, can you recall? I've struggled to find anything and was about to 3d print something.

In my picture you can just make out the white spring clips between the taps on the manifolds. They are the same ones as are shown holding the ball valves.
