How Does a PEX Manifold Work?Ī residential PEX manifold comprises two chambers, one for cold water and one for hot water, each connected to its respective supply line. In the same way that your electrical panel is the central connection point for all electrical outlets in your home, the PEX manifold serves the same purpose for your plumbing system. Think of your PEX manifold as a circuit breaker box for your plumbing system. The purpose of locating the manifold in an indoor space is to keep them in a climate-controlled environment where they are unaffected by outdoor weather conditions, like in a garage or attic.
For instance, if your main water supply pipe enters the house through the garage, your PEX manifold will be in an adjacent laundry or mud room. The central point of every PEX pipe installation is the PEX manifold, which is usually installed close to the main water inlet. But PEX plumbing isn’t just about those flexible red and blue tubes that deliver water to your plumbing appliances and fixtures. Nick’s Plumbing has been installing PEX water lines since the late 1990s, and about 90% of those PEX installations are still in use, providing reliable, trouble-free service.
PEX plumbing has become increasingly popular over the last three decades to the point where it is now the standard for water delivery systems in 70 – 80% of new home construction.
