Has anyone replaced their water manifolds. Just had a chance to fill up the water to check for damage after cold drive home at Christmas and discovered i had crackes in the hot water manifold.
There sre metal clips attaching the plastic hoses i am not familiar with. Wondering how difficult it is to remove them and or replace them.
In doing a lot of plumbing I've found the best way to cut through the pex rings is with a dremel tool with a small cutting wheel. You can pick up the new pex rings and the crimping tool at any of the box stores. Easy to use. Should be able to get the crimping tool for between 30 - 40 dollars.
Each line is connected to the manifold separately in your photo. No need to cut anything. Unscrew each line and replace manifold quickly if it is the broken part.
Travel safe

Thanks for the info. I believe just the manifold and possibly one shutoff. Ordering a couple just incase. I have not seen the type of crimping, so I figured I would need a new tool!
I know this is an old thread but having same issue.... Looks like just my cold water manifold. Did you have any valves crack? Also, I found Flair-it part 17901 for the manifold, is this what you used to replace? Thanks! Tom.
I just emailed FR and ordered the hot manifold. Not sure of part number. I did order a couple of valves as I could not tell for sure if one or two had a crack in them. That are not that expensive. Make sure you unscrew the valve shutoffs then remove manifold. No reason to remove shutoffs unless they are cracked.
