Water Manifold

[mark2line]

I have a 2008 Gulf Stream Tour Master with a water manifold.
When the coach is connected to the water supply, the manifold has developed a leak (a drip) on the hot water side. It is in the off position. If I put it in the on position it sprays all over the place. I checked the pressure at the spicket, which has a regulator, and it is 50lbs pressure. Can anyone turn me on to who makes the manifold and where I can get some info on repair parts.

Thank you

There should be some info of the manufacturer molded on the maniblock itself. Have you diagnosed if it is just loose fitting or it one is broken? Mine has performed perfectly for 10 years now. These are also used in stick and brick houses.

Mark2line,
Here is a post I made earlier on the same topic-
"skoob, you might look at www.viega.net/4693.html . If your unit looks like these, they sell a replacement for about $90.00 delivered by UPS. I am getting ready to install my second one. They do crack when they freeze . Be sure to get the right size. On my first one had to return a 1/2" one for the 5/8". Sales office in Wichita, KS 800-976-9819 I think. Very helpful cust svc folks."

Look back to 5-27-09 for the full thread discussion.
Hope this helps.

JRL turned me onto Viega and they are the ones to get a new one but I will tell you it looks like you can fix it. Mine did the same thing that you are describing and when I took it off and tested it on a bench no leak. Before you buy a new one try which by the way is higher just like everything else try the following:
Shut off all of the valves and relieve the pressure on both sides of the valves. Pressurize the manifold and open up the valve on the top first and see if it makes any difference. Go one valve at a time until it starts to leak. 50 psig is a good pressure
You may be leaking where you connect to the pex fitting on the discharge of the valve and you think it is the manifold but it is this connection.
Viega will tell you that it is not repairable but I don't see how it can't be with just Orings and rods.
