3/8 Pex manifolds

STUDENT
STUDENT Member Posts: 8
Hello all. I am looking for a 1" copper manifold with 3/8 pex adapters with ball valves, 12 or 24 ports. We had Sioux Chief custom make them for us but now they don't. Any ideas on who would make them? THANK YOU

    You might want to try

    making your own.

    1" steel pipe, drilled and tapped with 1/8" NPT holes/threads.

    Stick mini-ball MxF valves in each tapped hole.

    Screw 1/8" X 3/8" barbed MxB adapters in each mini-ball valve?

    Maybe something similar? Bigger manifold pipe?

    sells them. I buy them without adapters, as I use many different types of tubing and adapters.

    Precision Hydronics is another, but I don't see a sweat ball valve version.

    Still another is Alberta T Drill.

    Either company will build to special order, also.

    you might want to try the modular quick manifold system
    http://www.zurn.com/pages/catalog.asp?ProductGroupID=134&OperationID=17

    they came late to the game - gives them the advantage of having learned from others mistakes - and they have to try harder - makes them the perfect radiant vendor

    eg instead of starting a brand new 1000ft roll of pex each time - you can use the zurn repair splice - gauranteed never to break at the splice - provided you use their tool and gauge

    and their Themal-Track radiant sub floor is the best in the business - with the aluminization on top and great strength

    Darren. What centers are you looking for? We make a 1 x 1/2" copper to copper 6 footer that you could sweat a 3/8" pex valve onto. they come in 12, 18, 24, and 30 outlet per run. We build them with 1/2" pex valves but we dont carry a 3/8". If you have the time check out our web site. www.customtee.com
