Default Copper Manifold Question

Here's one for all you engineering types or those that have done more research than me...
How many slotted cross tube should one put in there copper manifold for their MLT?

I am using the igloo cube style cooler and wanted to change to a copper manifold from a braid. The dimensions are 14"x14".

Any suggestions?

Todd

I'm an engineer, but I didn't do any engineering when I designed my manifold. I just made a square that fit the bottom of my 10gal round cooler and then fit one pipe across the middle. Simple and works great.

I made a copper manifold and cut as many slots approximately 1/2" apart as I could get in the available area. Not scientific but it works.
