New FlowGuard® Multiport CPVC Manifold System Offers Maximum Versatility

The new FlowGuard® MultiPort CPVC manifold system offers a versatile solution for use with both CPVC and PEX potable water piping materials. This patent-pending manifold will be available in 1", 1¼", 1½" and 2" sizes for residential and commercial applications and can be installed vertically or horizontally.

Used as a central manifold system, FlowGuard MultiPort fittings allow for any number of ports during installation while easily accommodating future expansion. The manifold system is joined with solvent cement, eliminating the mechanical leak points present in other central manifold systems.

The fittings come in standard configurations of one, two, three or four ports for 1" CPVC, and two or three ports for 1¼", 1½" and 2" CPVC. Simple CPVC adaptors are available to convert the male ports to brass or stainless steel crimp barbs for PEX pipe, or to standard fittings for CPVC pipe.

The FlowGuard MultiPort manifold system is manufactured by The Lubrizol Corporation. The company has more than 45 years of experience in advanced technology piping products, including FlowGuard Gold®, FlowGuard® Bendable, FlowGuard™ Flex, BlazeMaster® and Corzan® piping systems.
