Your flow meters split the flow as you need just the same as a larger single manifold would.So are you saying it's wrong to install these 2 manifolds in "parallel" configuration and I should instead be installing them in "series"?

But your previous images shows 2 sets of pipes doing the same route to the first manifold, so why not just do one set of pipes to the first manifold and extend to the next manifold.

So I've done it again over the correct layout design to represent what I'm well advanced into laying... Ignore the previous version. Does this make more sense?! The long run is around 20m, the short one is 8m. Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by Mulberry View
2 hours ago2 hr I have not read the whole thread but wondered why you ruled out running the pipes in the ceiling void?
