Re: Manabloc repair/replacement, mine is dripping Reply #28 – April 15, 2017, 01:46:29 pm I got a part number and price of $166.00 shipped for a replacement 12-port Manabloc from Viega.plus shipping. After buying the necessary parts to repair my leak and basically restore the system to new I'm now thinking I should have gotten the new one which includes the Pex adaptors, and kept the old Manabloc for parts. The adaptors alone, without reducing fittings were about $47.50, plus new O-rings, threaded rods, nuts, washers and cone washers. Quote Selected

Re: Manabloc repair/replacement, mine is dripping Reply #30 – April 16, 2017, 03:59:57 pm Like always, there's one more glitch!I have been looking online for hours now to try and locate the fitting that the pex swivel connector screws onto.In the first picture below it's the top most fitting, with a slight inside bevel to accommodate the swivel seal. The second pictureis of the swivel connector and seal.I picked up some fittings at HD yesterday but when I got back to the shop I realized the bevel was absent on these. DOES ANYONE KOW WHAT THEY'RE CALLED?The only thing I know for sure is they are CTS CPVC. Quote Selected
Re: Manabloc repair/replacement, mine is dripping Reply #31 – April 16, 2017, 04:12:26 pm I could be wrong, but it will probably seal like it is. I have replaced the same on my '81 and it didn't leak. Quote Selected

Re: Manabloc repair/replacement, mine is dripping Reply #33 – April 16, 2017, 04:16:34 pm They may have gone from the tapered seal to a flat washer on the newer fittings. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Manabloc repair/replacement, mine is dripping Reply #34 – April 16, 2017, 04:25:59 pm Aren't those PEX swivels actually adapters to NPT? If so, you'd be looking for NPT. Quote Selected
Re: Manabloc repair/replacement, mine is dripping Reply #35 – April 16, 2017, 05:06:57 pm No joy with NPT either.Maybe I'll just chamfer the ones I have. Quote Selected

I have replaced the same on my '81 and it didn't leak.C-Man,You may be right. When I replaced the faucet assembly in the wet bay there were two swivel adapters (hot & cold) that attached the PEX to the faucet male NPT nipple, and there wasn't a chamfer on the inside of the threads. Only concern there is the brass nipple may have a really sharp edge that could cut into the washer, which I didn't consider at the time, maybe because there was a chamfer?Regency 12" Wall Mounted Swing Spout Swivel Faucet with 8" CentersFifth picture down on the left.I also found these at a great price if they'll honor it;Ordering Information - PPL Motor Homes#88-9292, 7th from top.

It probably wouldn't fit and bolt right up. Newer style and all. And likely wouldn't have had the double bottom.If I understand your other question correctly, the pex swivel connector usually just goes onto a standard npt male. The two pictures you show are compatible. Hook them up and see if it works. Quote Selected
