MANIFLOW saves energy and conserves water by having a dedicated pipeline from a manifold near the hot water cylinder to each tap or fixture in the house. Hot water goes straight where it is needed without sitting around cooling in the big feeder pipes needed to serve multiple outlets.
Less energy and water is wasted as hot water arrives faster at the tap. Flexible and non-metallic pipes result in a quiet and efficient plumbing system that does not suffer corrosion, scaling or microbiological build-up.

- Temperature and pressure relationship is for operational purposes and not failure pressure.
- Don't use MANIFLOW in continuously circulating hot water loops of above 60°C without expert consultation.
- Always install MANIFLOW to AS/NZS3500 National Plumbing Code standards.
- Keep it shielded or painted to protect it from UV light if you're fitting orstoring it externally for extended periods.
- Avoid exposing MANIFLOW to petroleum solvents.
- Insulate MANIFLOW in areas where freezing is possible.
