FlowGuard Manifold System Offers Maximum Versatility

The new FlowGuard MultiPort CPVC manifold system offers a versatile solution that can be used with both CPVC and PEX potable water piping materials. The patent-pending manifold is available in 1”, 1 ¼”, 1 ½” and 2” sizes for residential and commercial applications, and it can be installed vertically or horizontally.

Used as a central manifold system, FlowGuard MultiPort fittings allow for any number of ports during installation and easily accommodate future expansion. The manifold system is joined using solvent cement, eliminating the mechanical leak points found in other central manifold systems.

The fittings come in standard configurations of one, two, three or four ports for 1” CPVC and two to three ports for 1 ¼”, 1 ½” and 2” CPVC.

Simple CPVC adaptors are available to convert the male ports to brass or stainless steel crimp barbs for PEX pipe, or to standard CPVC pipe or fittings.

The system is manufactured by The Lubrizol Corporation. The company has 50 years of experience in advanced technology piping products — including FlowGuard Gold, FlowGuard Bendable, FlowGuard Flex, BlazeMaster and Corzan piping systems.

For more information on the benefits of the FlowGuard MultiPort CPVC System, call 888-234-2436 x4477393, or click here.
