Nic, what are you looking to operate off this manifold? Are you using your return pump or a second pump to power the manifold? Do you have the tools, ie Sawzall? How experienced are you at working with pvc? It's not difficult to solvent weld but there are tricks to the trade that will come in handy.hey so I was wanting to build a pvc manifold for my sump.

I know lowes sells spigot fittings as well I'm sure they sell spigot T's. But this is a great idea, spigot fittings save you room and also making modulation much simpler!FlexPVC sells spigot Tee's. They are T's where one side of the top is the same outer diameter as PVC pipe, so you can run them straight into a coupler, or another T. This lets you densely pack the outputs and not need to deal with tiny little pieces of PVC pipe. I have a picture of a small manifold I built with some in my build thread.
Hey thanks for replying yea I’m pretty sure I could build it fine and I have a Carbon reactor and one return pump was thinking about having a back up return pump and maybe doing another reactor of some sort. Just wondering if I should use flex and pvc together.Nic, what are you looking to operate off this manifold? Are you using your return pump or a second pump to power the manifold?

Holy crap. I didn't even know pre made ones even exsisted. I made my own but these are pretty cool too.Hey Nick... it would be good if you could give some more specific info about how you want to employ the manifold. Also, here is a link to a site with a number of different manifold set ups.
