Yes, you can run it "straight" on through but having a manifold is a
better way to go. Each system in the house can be tested as it is
finished
and left on while you work on the next. If at sometime someone, somehow,
someway damages a line or you have to replace a leaky stop, you can turn
off
the one system at the manifold and the rest of the house never knows it.


Only problem with a manifold system is that he is re-doing an old house.
If
the layout allows it, yes, great idea, but sometimes with old homes it
does
not work out that easy. Then you do what you have to do.

True, but if you use a manifold and something breaks, you just shut it off
and then do what you have to do. You know, like drink beer and watch
football until you want to fix it.
