       I like the Veiga Manabloc system, but like most ~~plumbing supply~~ companies, they're high on their own supply and hate you (they don't have a PEX A version).I'd /like/ to have a hybrid deployment with a "home run" between two manabloc manifolds, but no; I have to either piece together my own manifoldS from scratch or do a traditional "home run" install.Total PEX B Death.

       @eriner what makes PEX B worse than PEX A and why do you want plastic in your water? Copper baybee

       @vix PEX B crimp system is dogshit, those things leak and inevitably fail and make a huge mess. And because it’s on a manifold system like this, there are many more crimp points and places for it to fail. PEX A fittings are solid. I’ve never known one to leak. Plus you have much more volume thanks to the significantly larger inner diameter of the pipe.Copper gets pinholes and goes to shit. That said, it’s still better than fucking CPVC (what I’m replacing).

       @eriner You could service the neighborhood with one of those.

       @eriner Have you run across SupplyHouse?  https://www.supplyhouse.com/PEX-Plumbing-515000They have decent prices on some thinks (but not everything).  I've been remodeling and slowly moving everything over the PEX-A.  They are proud of manifolds.

       @SIrLongTheGood Yeah, that's where I get my PEX and Uponor manifolds. I no longer order capacitors from them though, because the last two they sent me were all dented and messed up.

       @eriner  Started researching what I wanted to use and ran into the same issue. What did you end up using for a manifold?Thinking of the Viega MiniBloc manifold if I can find out if they use standard threads.  Just get my own PEX-A threaded adapters....
