Water Manifold 96 Tourmaster

[skoob]

There is a pvc water manifold on my tourmaster that was not properly winterized by previous owner. One of the tees cracked and needs to be replaced. Does anyone know who makes these manifolds or where parts can be found to replace it?

skoob, welcome to iRV2.com and to the Gulf Stream Owners forum. We are glad to have you join us here and look forward to reading of your adventures and experiences. I am not at the coach right now to look and see if I can be of help. There may be a name of he manufacturer molded into the body possible at the end that might be of help. Another option is to contact Gulf Stream for help. Give me some time and I will check my manablock. By the way, the same block is used in some residential construction.

Unfortunately Gulfstream told me that the manufacturer of the manifold is no longer in business. I had extra tees that were not used so I made a filler to fill in for the cracked tee but it still leaks a little. Do you know a good RV junk yard part supplier that may know if they have a replacement
Hopefully you can find something that I can use.
Thanks

Do a Google search for RV Salvage yards. THe last time I counted there were like 60+ in the nation.

I just saw some manifolds at a Home Depot or a Lowes. They were with the pex plumbing supplies. Might be worth asking or looking, good luck, HarveyP

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.

JRL has found the ticket with Viega. It appears that Gulfstream use to use a Vanguard manifold which Viega has purchased. I got a Vanguard manifold from a salvage yard which has 9 hot and 9 cold. As JRL says they freeze and break.
Thanks everyone
