Manifold planning/critique…

[Jlobes]

Hey there… Redoing a bit of my plumbing and starting with my reactors and manifold. Here's a pic of the new manifold to be. All half-inch parts afyer the downsizing on the left, obviously I will add pipe and glue them together, this is just the layout. Let me know what you think, comments and criticisms of the positive nature are appreciated.

I shall be critical. This looks more like a stub off then a manifold. What I've seen with a manifold is a group of valves with the remain water passing by and returning to the DT. I also don't understand why you have a valve before the two "manifold" valves. Don't know why you would need that.

Thanks for the feedback, I was contemplating running it as you speak, with the excess of the water flowing back into the display tank, but changed my plan to a stub off, as I'm now informed.
And I suppose the valve before that is not necessary, but instead of just gluing it in I would probably use a union anyway… And I have a true union ball valve handy. But you are correct I probably could just skip it.
Thanks again for the feedback I may do a little redesign
Also, thanks for the clarification. I've been wondering what actually defined a manifold…

You can add one more vale incase if you need to use that for anythnig else in near future. I am not sure why you have grey valve before your manifold? But other than that it looks good. just be sure to measure the distance between them...
