My project this long weekend is a total re-plumb of my inlaws house. It's something I've been putting off for years, but I think there's a small leak in part of the old galvanized iron pipe, so I'm going to get it done while I have the time off to do it.
I'm going to install PEX pipe with a home-made manifold set-up with a single line to each fixture. It's a small one-bath house on a crawl space, so it shouldn't be too big of a job. I thought a lot about using one of the manufactured manifolds, but I didn't like those. Especially the plastic ones looked like trouble waiting to happen.
All of my other plumbing work has been sweat soldered copper, and this will be my first PEX job.
Anybody have any experience with PEX manifolds?
