We are planning on replacing plumbing with Pex this coming spring/summer and I am wondering from those of you who have worked with pex lines... is it better to have one manifold from which all lines start (1/2 and 3/8 inch depending on the use)--or have a smaller manifold to start and 3/4 or 1/2 inch supply lines going to another smaller manifold in each basic area (kitchen, master bath, other bath, etc)?
If it makes a difference - the main manifold would be at one end of the house - right close to the master bath, the kitchen is about 25 feet from there and the 2nd bath is about 50 feet from the manifold end.
What are your thoughts/experience - and which do you prefer and why?
Thank you so very much in advance for all input!!
Have a great day!!
