Review on Viega 50243 2 Inch PureFlow Manabloc by Chris Horton

Works great! The template and clear instructions were in the box. I haven't played around with the branded lashing straps from Viega. I just made a 2x4 bracket that attaches to my basement joists. With labels and everything you need for each lamp. This rating and model is for crimping adapters for any fixture. My only gripe with this is that if you follow the included 3/4" hole drilling template for each hot and cold lead, you have to run the solder through the manifold and THEN crimp the nipple before attaching it. So now you can no longer pull the line out of the 3/4 inch hole. If I had to do it all over again I would just drill bigger holes to fit the clamp fitting and all. We no longer face pressure drops when multiple devices are used simultaneously. Part of this is because I upgraded my main line from the water meter to 3/4" to the manifold (not sure bozo thought 1/2" was best for everything), but part was also missing the daisy chain. each other. Water supply is no longer a priority for the first item in the queue. The only problem I see is that it has to come with a wrench and metal fittings, which I had to order separately for the larger top and bottom ports. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013P3XW58/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Attached image when I connected everything and tested connections. I made my runs more accurate and added labels for each jig after the fact. For now I've adjusted the 3/4" supply/main lines to 1/2" for main and hot water until a tankless installation is installed. My water heater only has 1/2" inlet and outlet lines. I will also be adding a few more fixtures once another bathroom is added to the house and sinks are added in the basement and garage.
