Sharkbite/cash Acme 22786A 4-port Pex Manifold

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 22786A is a 4-port PEX manifold designed to serve as a central distribution fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It provides multiple outlet ports that supply water to several lines simultaneously from a single source. The barb-style branch connections are compatible with PEX tubing and can be secured using either a crimp or clamp method, giving installers flexibility based on available tooling. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipe fitters install this type of manifold during rough-in or retrofit work where consolidating supply connections is the goal.

This manifold is well suited for concentrated water service applications such as bathrooms, kitchens, and utility areas where multiple fixtures share a common supply zone. By acting as a central hub, it reduces the number of individual fittings and connections needed throughout the run, simplifying the overall layout of the PEX distribution system. It is appropriate for both new construction and remodel scenarios where a home-run or branch-style PEX layout is being installed.

Key Features

• 4 outlet ports allow simultaneous supply to multiple water lines from one central point
• Barb connections accept standard PEX tubing and support both crimp and clamp installation methods
• Reduces overall fitting count by consolidating supply connections at one location
• Suited for high-use zones such as bathrooms and kitchens where water service is concentrated
• Compact central distribution design simplifies PEX system layout during rough-in

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting compatible with standard PEX tubing systems using crimp or clamp connection methods.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing lines or making connections. Use a calibrated PEX crimp or clamp tool rated for the tubing size being installed to ensure a leak-free joint. Inspect all connections after restoring pressure before closing in the wall or concealing the manifold.
