Install the manifold in a few simple steps:
We have designed our entire system so that you don’t need specialized tools and you don’t have to be a specialist
with years of experience. Connecting elements in our system are sealed with factory-fitted O-rings or face seals.
The principle is simple: Connect – Tighten – Done!
No specialized tools required
O-ring seals
Fast installation
Support: If any element doesn’t quite want to cooperate with you – you always have us!
We will make every effort to clear your doubts and solve the problem.
How to select and assemble a set?
Step-by-step guide:
1. Count the tap-off points
First of all, you need to determine:
- How many cold water outlets do you have? (e.g., toilet, washing machine, bathtub, washbasins...)
- How many hot water outlets do you have? (e.g., shower, bathtub, kitchen sink...)
- Will there be hot water circulation? If so – how many loops?
Example:
- Cold water: Toilet x 2, bidet, washbasin x 2, bathtub, washing machine, shower x 2, and kitchen sink = 10 points
- Hot water: Bidet, washbasin x 2, bathtub, shower x 2, and kitchen sink = 7 points
- Circulation: Bidet, washbasin x 1, shower x 2, and kitchen sink = 5 points
Which means you need one manifold bar each of: 10 sections, 7 sections, and 5 sections.
2. Pipe diameter to the outlets (16mm or 20mm?)
The most frequently asked question: What kind of pipe should connect the manifold to the faucet?
We select the appropriate compression fitting for PEX pipes for this purpose:
- 16mm Diameter: Sufficient in 90% of cases. Used for standard appliances with normal water flow (washbasin, toilet, bidet, washing machine).
- 20mm Diameter: Recommended for high-flow appliances (large bathtubs, "tropical forest" type rain showers, main kitchen supply), especially if they are located at a significant distance from the manifold.
3. Main valves (How do you supply the water?)
The choice of valve depends on how the pipe is routed to the manifold:
- Remember: The other end of the manifold bar must be sealed with a plug equipped with an O-ring.
- Angle valve: Choose this when the supply pipe is routed perpendicularly (e.g., straight from the floor, ceiling, or wall behind the cabinet).
- Straight valve: Choose this when the supply pipe is routed in parallel (from the right or left side).
4. Wall mounting (Brackets)
How to mount everything securely? Choose the right set of brackets depending on how many manifold bars you are installing:
- Single bracket (two separate clamps) – For mounting only one manifold bar (e.g., cold water only).
- Double bracket (two rails, 4 clamps) – The most common option. You mount the cold and hot water bars at a fixed distance, one below the other.
- Triple bracket (two rails, 6 clamps) – The "Full" Option: Cold, Hot, and Circulation. Everything perfectly aligned one below the other.
5. Cabinet
Everything can be hidden in an aesthetic surface-mounted or flush-mounted cabinet.
How to choose the right one?
- We will match the cabinet for you if you provide us with the following information:
- Do you need a surface-mounted or flush-mounted cabinet?
- Are you planning to place anything more than just the manifolds inside (e.g., a DHW pump, filters)?
- You can also select it yourself. Below is a selection table for cabinets, calculated based on the largest selected manifold along with the main valve.
- Manifold 2 - 3 sections --> Cabinet 4
- Manifold 2 - 4 sections --> Cabinet 6
- Manifold 2 - 7 sections --> Cabinet 8
- Manifold 2 - 9 sections --> Cabinet 10
- Manifold 2 - 12 sections --> Cabinet 12
- Manifold 2 - 12 sections + accessories --> Cabinet 14
6. DHW Pump
Electronic pump for domestic hot water.
- The SPE12/1.4S pump ensures the highest level of comfort while maintaining low energy consumption.
- Stainless steel body – fully compatible with the INOX HOME system.
- Permanent magnet motor with flexible power adjustment to the load.
- Descaling function and water stagnation prevention.
7. Ring Wrench
Ring Wrench Dedicated Multi-Wrench – Your assembly assistant.
Not just the manifold. Thoughtful tools.
We have designed a proprietary tool that significantly speeds up work and eliminates assembly errors.
- Stable operation without slipping. The unique lower support ("forks") rests on the fitting body, stabilizing the wrench in the ideal position. You can perform fast tightening movements, and the wrench will not fall off or slip through the nut. This is smooth, one-handed operation.
- Open design (Open Ring Wrench). A special cutout allows the wrench to be placed on the pipe at any time – even when the installation is already pre-assembled. It works like an open-end wrench but holds like a ring wrench.
- Integrated PEX deburrer (16 and 20 mm). The wrench handle is also a precision tool for pipe chamfering.
Quickly and easily select and price your hot and cold domestic water installation based on a stainless steel manifold system.
