incoming/outgoing pex tubing

[Janet Beadle]

I've seen design's done both ways does one work better than the other

Out 1 Out 2 Out 3 Return 3 Return 2 Return 1

Out 1 Return 1 Out 2 Return 2 Out 3 Return 3

Are you talking about zoning the tubes vs serpentine

 

[Janet Beadle]

No, I'm referring to the manifold should it be out 1, In 1, Out 2, In 2, Out 3, In 3, or should it be Out 1, Out 2, Out 3 and then In 3, In 2 In 1

Mine are all in matched rows -- KISS

I think you are talking about reverse return. and yes there is a benefit.

 

[yeldogt]

Reverse return is beneficial when laying out the tubing when you only have two zones in a space.

The manifold is a different animal. Fluids don't act like people think.

I'm unclear I thought they were all reverse return - my question was simply the order they return should it be for a three run system Out,Out, Out & In, In, IN or should it be Out, IN - Out, IN, - Out, IN just trying to lay out the order correctly and I've seen it done both ways - I'm confused
