I'm remodelling a house built in 1931 in Bellingham WA
I had the plumber stub all new copper to the unfinished basement and i'm going to setup a home-run PEX manifold myself.
Question: the Vanguard MANABLOC comes in 1/2" and 3/8" outlet sizes. I have a new bathroom in the second floor and the plumber ran a 3/4" cold water line for the shower/toilet/sink and a 1/2" for the hot water.
Should I get a 1/2" MANABLOC and bump up the size to 3/4" PEX line for the cold water to the upstairs bathroom? (can I do this at the manifold?)
or just run 1/2" PEX to the copper line?
or skip the MANABLOC and use something else?
thanks
