Sharkbite 25552LF 3-port Pex Manifold

Product Description

The SHARKBITE 25552LF is a 3-port PEX manifold designed for residential and light commercial plumbing distribution systems. It provides a centralized connection point for PEX tubing runs, allowing multiple branch lines to originate from a single supply source. The lead-free construction meets modern plumbing code requirements for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and experienced plumbing contractors install this type of manifold as part of a home-run or hybrid PEX distribution layout, consolidating shutoff and branch control into one accessible location.

This manifold is suited for new construction and retrofit plumbing projects where a structured PEX distribution system is preferred over a trunk-and-branch configuration. It is compatible with standard PEX push-to-connect and expansion-style fittings depending on port sizing. Typical installations include residential water distribution, radiant heating supply headers, and multi-zone plumbing layouts where individual branch isolation is required.

Key Features

• 3-port configuration supports up to three independent branch lines from a single manifold body
• Lead-free construction compliant with potable water standards
• Designed for PEX tubing distribution systems in residential and light commercial plumbing
• Compact form factor suitable for installation in utility closets, mechanical rooms, or wall cavities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation manifold for PEX-based residential and light commercial plumbing distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections. Ensure all PEX tubing is cut cleanly and fully seated before engaging push-to-connect ports. Support the manifold body securely to prevent stress on branch line connections during and after installation.
