Viega ManaBloc Water Distribution Manifold
Take control of your water supply with a water distribution manifold. This one is the Viega ManaBloc.

When water comes in from the main supply line, the manifold is charged with water. A cold water line goes out to the water heater and is returned to the hot side of the manifold. From there, each fixture has it’s own independent water supply and control. There’s no “branches” in the lines going to the water fixtures. Because of this you can shut down water to any fixture without disrupting the supply to the rest of the house. A great application of this is being able to shut off the water to your hose bibs during winter. Turn the water off at the manifold, drain the line from the spicket, and then stop worrying about it freezing and busting on a cold January day.

Hooking up the manifold is very easy. All the parts you need is included in the kit. Essentially, you insert a metal sleeve in the PEX, slip the end over it, and the push a compression sleeve onto the PEX. From there you just screw it into one of the ports on the manifold. There’s not a lot of room between the ports on the manifold so a good investment to make it a specialty wrench that allow you to get in there and tighten everything up.
