The brass manifold may be the pinnacle of the plumbing industry but it does not mean it is in short supply. These manifolds are available in a wide variety of sizes, styles and price points. They are easy to install, thread fittings and are comparable in corrosion resistance to aluminum manifolds. This is the reason they are the go to item for plumbers everywhere. Whether it is a simple re-routing of an old pipe, or a more involved replacement, these fittings can be installed in minutes.
Manifolds are not just for pipes, they also come in handy when converting a home's plumbing system from copper to plastic tubing. For example, you can easily convert a standard copper piping system into a PEX tubing system without requiring any specialized tools. A brass manifold is not merely a pipe, but rather a junction point for multiple lines. Using one of these fittings is the best way to distribute a large number of lines from a single source.
The most important function of a manifold is coordinating several inputs to multiple outputs. The most basic model has only one output but there are variants with multiple outputs. To ensure smooth operation, there are a number of things to keep in mind when choosing a manifold. It is wise to purchase a reputable brand that has been in the business for some time. Also, consider the sizing of your project when deciding on a fitting.
