Many thanks guys, based on the suggestions above I've managed firstly to reinforce the silicone bridge between the manifold and the valve connector. I did so by cutting a small strip of copper pipe and slipping it into the tube which seems to work well (). I will also reduce the size of the...

I have a large hop bag that would fit over my manifold, should I try that as an option on my next mash? I saw this mentioned on another post.
