Does anyone have knowledge of a manifold w/ 3/4" outs? This will be used in a hydronic heating application, but no mixing / tempering needed in the manifold - copper would be fine. Thank you.

As far as heating output, just close down the spacing on the tubing. __________________ It's not that it took him an hour to make 100 bucks, it's that it didn't take you 10 hours to save 100 bucks.

It only costs $622.95 from PexSupply. Manifolds with 3/4" outlets are made for very, very large systems. __________________ "The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his clients to plant vines." -- Frank Lloyd Wright

This is what I'm leaning toward at this point. I did see the one for over $600 - puh-lease!
