What Is a Gas Manifold?
A gas manifold provides a centralized distribution point where a main gas supply can be divided into multiple downstream piping runs. Instead of creating several individual branch connections throughout the piping system, a manifold allows multiple runs to originate from one organized location.
This type of configuration can be useful in installations serving multiple gas appliances or equipment locations. Each branch can be routed from the manifold toward its intended destination according to the system design.
Pro-Flex offers several manifold configurations so the run size, branch size, and number of available ports can be matched to the gas piping layout.
Why Use a Central Gas Manifold?
Organized Distribution
- Creates a central point for multiple gas piping branches
- Helps organize multi-run piping layouts
- Provides clearly defined branch locations
- Useful for systems supplying multiple appliances
- Allows branch configurations to be selected according to system requirements
Multiple Configurations
- Two-port and four-port models available
- 1/2" and 3/4" branch sizes available
- Main run sizes up to 1"
- Options for matching different distribution layouts
- Suitable for compact centralized gas piping arrangements
Available Manifold Configurations
PFMN-BBB6 – Four 1/2" Ports
The PFMN-BBB6 features a 1/2" x 1/2" run with four 1/2" branch ports. This configuration provides four same-size branch locations from a 1/2" manifold run.
PFMN-CCB6 – Four 1/2" Ports
The PFMN-CCB6 features a 3/4" x 3/4" run with four 1/2" branch ports, providing a larger main run with multiple 1/2" distribution branches.
PFMN-DDBB – Two 1/2" Ports
The PFMN-DDBB features a 1" x 1" run with two 1/2" branch ports for installations requiring a 1" main run and two smaller branches.
PFMN-DDCC – Two 3/4" Ports
The PFMN-DDCC features a 1" x 1" run with two 3/4" branch ports, providing larger branch connections from a 1" manifold run.

Pro-Flex Gas Piping System
Pro-Flex manufactures flexible corrugated stainless steel tubing and related fittings for natural-gas and propane piping installations. The manifold is one of the distribution components offered within the Pro-Flex fitting and accessory lineup.
The Pro-Flex product guide shows the manifolds as part of its gas piping safety-device and accessory range and identifies the configurations by run size, branch size, and number of ports.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Select the manifold according to the required main run size.
- Confirm the number of branch ports required for the piping layout.
- Verify whether 1/2" or 3/4" branch connections are required.
- Confirm that the manifold configuration is appropriate for the designed gas-system capacity.
- Size all gas piping according to the connected appliance loads and system design requirements.
- Use compatible Pro-Flex components where required by the installation.
- Properly support the manifold and connected piping.
- Leak-test completed gas piping connections according to applicable requirements.
- Follow current Pro-Flex installation instructions and applicable fuel-gas codes.
- Gas piping installation should be completed by qualified personnel.
