Everhot PEX and manifolds

[Possum]

Does anyone have any experience with the Everhot line of PEX and their stainless manifold for radiant heat? The ebay seller "pextubing" has some attractive prices on this company's products and good feedback.
Thanks!

I bought a little over a mile of pex, SS manifolds, fittings and tools from them. They shipped it same day with tracking numbers and everything was there plus a few extras. My installation isn't quite finished yet but the parts appear to be good quality and far cheaper than some of their competition. Nice manifolds with compression fittings, flow meters and flow control valves on each loop and a thermo gauge on the in and out of each set.

A mile of pex! Now that is an installation. Thanks for the feedback.

I looked up Everhot on the internet and found this:
Everhot Inc. Is a wholesaler and master distributor of PEX plumbing products for potable water use and radiant home heating.
Our extensive list of products includes various sizes and coils lengths of barrier and non-barrier PEX tubing, as well as a complete line of fittings, tools and accessories to do the job right.


I believe that the Everhot manifolds are manufactured by Rifeng Systems as they appear to be identical in construction except that illustrations of the Rifeng products show the intake (red) manifold located at the top position and the blue is located at the bottom of the brackets exactly the opposite of the way the Everhot manifolds are positioned.

I question why Everhot would put the return at the top position as most installation pictures using a flat plate heat exchanger show the hot water outlet on the exchanger at the top.

I have an Everhot stainless manifold. I tried call them to ask a few questions and no one answers the phone. I left a message and no one ever called back. I also emailed them and never got a reply. If I ever buy another manifold it won't be Everhot. I am one that likes to be able to get some customer service if I have a question or problem. JMO
