A different approach Parallel systems A parallel system uses a home-run manifold, like the Viega MANABLOC. With this type of installation, the installer can plumb a house without fittings hidden inside walls. By installing the MANABLOC system near the hot water source, tubing can be run directly to each fixture without using additional fittings. A parallel system provides the lowest pressure loss, as well as eliminates interference between fixtures. Often each fixture can be fed with smaller-diameter tubing, which is easier, faster and more economical to install. Parallel installation Branch...
