Review on Viega 50243 2 Inch PureFlow Manabloc by Wayne Girard

Based on some reviews I wasn't 100% sure about this system but I ended up hitting the JACKPOT! I was looking for a new distribution system as I was at the maximum number of outlets on my old copper distribution boards (I had 3 of them running). We are about to start a bathroom extension and there weren't enough connections. Well, after months of arguing between products and brand names, I settled on this bad boy. Ho-ho-holy balls, this distribution system is amazing! The only thing missing from this manifold are the threaded brass fittings that you can find here at Revain. I ordered fittings incorrectly as all my supply lines are 1" and I ordered 3/4". NBD (It's OK). On this particular Manabloc I had soft water entering through the bottom fitting and then exiting the top right fitting into my water heater. The top left faucet is my supply from my water heater. At this point I was able to apply water pressure without any jigs. Wonderful! Little by little I was able to install, mark and decorate each line as I progressed. I have no regrets and wonder why I waited so long to try this well built distributor. I highly recommend this product and am very happy with the experience so far. *** UPDATE *** I've noticed water pooling/dripping from one of my loose connections. Found that the valve stems need to be replaced. I called Viega at 800-976-9819 and they shipped me valve stems with a removal tool free of charge. Replaced the stem and ten minutes later I was back in action! I am very satisfied with the interaction with the Viega warranty service.
