    Manabloc manifold
    I have a 15 year old manabloc water system. I am starting to get a slow leak down at the bottom of the manifold. (a drip). It seems that there is a seeping of water at top of manifold on both the hot and cold water fittings. They are crimp fittings, canthey be tightened or taken off and washers put in or what else can I do to stop the seeping. Also, is it possible that the leak is on the inside of manifold as to where I can't see it?

    Hi SP

    See if you can post a picture of the manabloc joints and entire assembly and we'll see if we can tell you more, OK?

    Hey Mark,
    I have never worked with Pex. Can lead joints be recrimped? Or do they have to cut out how you areThe joint out and do it again? Just curious, Tom
