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 potentially plumb a house
without fittings hidden inside walls. By installing the MANABLOC system
Parallel installation
near the hot water source, tubing can be run directly to each fixture
without using additional fittings. A parallel system provides the lowest
pressure losses, as well as eliminates interference between fixtures.
Often each fixture can be fed with smaller diameter tubing, which is
easier and faster to install.
Branch and main systems
Branch and main plumbing systems are more commonly known as
conventional plumbing systems, or branch and tee systems. This type
of system does not use the MANABLOC. Instead, this system uses a
large diameter “main” supply line for the hot and cold water supplies
within the structure, with smaller “branch” lines teeing off the main lines
Branch installation
to supply each fixture. While this system can reduce the amount of
tubing used, it requires more fittings, which can increase installation time
and cost. ViegaPEX or ViegaPEX Ultra tubing can be used for this type
of installation.
Combination systems
A combination system uses multiple manifolds combined with a branch
and main type of supply system. Combination systems use small manifolds
located throughout a structure placed near each main fixture group and are
supplied by the main hot and cold water supply lines. For this installation,
Viega offers the MINIBLOC. The MINIBLOC branches multiple ViegaPEX or
ViegaPEX Ultra tubing lines from a common location in lieu of using multiple
tee fittings spread throughout the structure. This helps keep hidden fittings
