A pipe that has several lateral outlets to or from other pipes can be named as a manifold. Copper manifold is a copper tube like structure with many outlets and a single inlet. Copper Manifolds are used to divert water, gas or any fluid to different parts of the house or a building. The main line of flow is distributed to many parts as per the requirement. Copper manifold with spin closed valve is a plumbing device used for home floor heating system mostly. Its outlet size is half an inch and is compatible with the copper pipes which are most suitable with floor heating system.
Copper was ideal at the past time because it was rigid and corroded slower then galvanized piping. So the copper manifolds with PEX piping came on the scene in the late 1960s from Europe and with widespread use starting in the 1980s.
Copper manifolds are widely used in water pipe system. Types of water manifolds you will see in home plumbing are interior copper manifolds or PEX manifolds used for hot and cold water distribution throughout the house. These copper manifolds are attached to shut off valves in case of line break or an emergency or if repairs need to made on a fixture.
