May 15, 20233 yr 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.
May 16, 20233 yr I used the 'O' ring with silicone grease and the locking nut. Didn't have a problem.

May 18, 20233 yr Author @Gone West 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.

They are the same ones as are shown holding the ball valves.
