Manifolds

Any manifold similar to Caleffi (pairs built to hang with offset) with simple shut-offs instead of balancing valves?

Oventrop and watts Radiant

had some simple manifolds with just ball valves. Do you need one? How many ports?

What about copper?

Need two pairs:

1 x 7 port

1 x 11 port

3/4" or 1" main; 1/2" outlets

Prefer 2" o.c. connections.

Copper is fine. Mains will be copper; branches 1/2" pex.

Really like the way the Caleffi manifolds are staggered pairs on a good hanging assembly.

Watts Radiant looks like it will be perfect. Thanks Hot Rod!

I confess

to still making up most of my own manifolds out of copper T's, little lengths of tubing, ball valves, and sweat pex adapters. once a cheapskate ...

but the price of parts and the tedium of doing this has me wondering about manufactured alternatives. are the Watts & Oventrop ones recommended? does anyone have any experience with Sioux Chief? they seem to have a pretty diverse set of manifold configurations ...
