Mr Pex 3260500 5-branch Stainless Steel Manifold 1.5 Inch

Product Description

The MR PEX 3260500 is a 5-branch stainless steel manifold assembly with inline flowmeters, designed for hydronic radiant heating and cooling distribution systems. Built from stainless steel throughout, this manifold serves as the central distribution point for multiple PEX or tubing circuits, allowing individual zone flow control and balancing across all five branches. The 1.5-inch trunk connection accommodates higher-flow system demands common in residential and light commercial radiant floor installations. Licensed plumbers and hydronic heating technicians are the primary installers of this assembly.

This manifold assembly is suited for residential and light commercial hydronic radiant heating systems where multiple zones require balanced flow distribution. The five-branch configuration supports up to five independent circuits, making it appropriate for mid-size radiant floor zones, snowmelt systems, or fan coil distribution. The inline flowmeters integrated into each branch allow technicians to verify and set individual loop flow rates during commissioning without the need for separate balancing valves or additional instrumentation.

Key Features

• 5-branch configuration supports up to five independent hydronic circuits
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in closed-loop hydronic systems
• 1.5-inch trunk connection and trunk size for higher-capacity flow demands
• Inline flowmeters on each branch enable on-site flow balancing and verification during commissioning
• OEM-style manifold assembly with integrated components for cleaner mechanical room installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation manifold for residential and light commercial hydronic radiant heating systems using PEX or similar flexible tubing circuits with a 1.5-inch supply and return trunk configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or hydronic heating technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the hydronic system before making any connections to the manifold. Ensure all branch connections are fully seated and leak-tested after pressurization before concealing any tubing runs. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings specified by the manufacturer for this assembly.
