Yeah, I know am I not going to win any Engineer of the Year Awards but I made this today and was proud of it so I thought I'd post some pics in case anyone else is looking to make a cheap manifold. Everything is 1/2" CPVC, no glue. It just snaps together. I used to use a stainless braid but I had more than my share of problems with it, so I "upgraded" to this.. Super cheap, super fast (if you use a dremel instead of a hack saw to cut the slits!). can't wait to try it out.. I've heard efficiency often goes up when going away from the stainless braid.. any truth to that?
