Flair-it 7963 Pex Distribution Manifold 32 Port

Product Description

The FLAIR-IT 7963 is a 32-port PEX distribution manifold designed for residential and light commercial plumbing and radiant heat systems. The 1-inch distribution chamber contains no O-rings, eliminating a common failure point and reducing long-term maintenance. A reinforcement rail runs along the ridge of the manifold to absorb side load pressure from connected PEX lines, preventing stress on fittings and chamber walls. The modular design allows a plumber to add ports, connect or separate chambers, and reposition port direction by removing the ski mounts. This manifold is approved for use in radiant heat distribution applications in addition to standard potable water distribution.

The 7963 is suited for residential new construction and retrofit plumbing installations where a central distribution point for PEX tubing runs is required. It is also approved for radiant floor heating systems where multiple zone circuits originate from a single manifold location. FLAIR-IT offers compatible connection options including straight swivels, angle swivels, swivel valves, directional valves, and tees for attaching PEX lines to this manifold. This makes it adaptable to a range of rough-in conditions and cabinet configurations. Licensed plumbers and radiant heating contractors are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before mounting or connecting any lines to the manifold. Secure the manifold to a stable backing surface using the ski mounts before attaching PEX lines to prevent movement under operating pressure. When configuring the modular ports or chambers, ensure all connections are hand-tight and then tooled to the fitting manufacturer specifications before pressurizing.
