BUYER BEWARE: PEX PLUMBING WITH PLASTIC MANABLOCK MANIFOLD

Many homes nowadays have PEX Plumbing. It's cheaper than copper plumbing and some offer a simple control panel as in the manablock manifold. Our manablock was made by Vanguard Plumbing Systems and no longer exists. Viega also used to sell model 49366 but discontinued mid-2022 leaving many homeowners without a 1:1 solution. No more branch adapters are sold. Sadly, our unit is leaking all over the garage the other day.

Don't be left out dry when they discontinued the next model, I would suggest going with a copper manifold given it should last longer than plastic. The cost of the units is well worth it.

Before you upgrade to another plastic manablock or look into converting into a plastic manabock, watch this video.

In short, think twice and maybe look into something different.

Hope this video help save somebody from a costly mistake as well as a headache.

Please help with a thumbs up if you like this video and leave a comment if it helps others.

Thanks for watching.
