Hi. Homeowner with some knowledge of plumbing just to fix toilet taps etc.

I need some advice please if anyone can help.
So I can use a 4 port manifold to get feeds to outside tap, the dishwasher and the washing machine plus the kitchen sink tap.

Can go from 15mm pipe increase to 22mm connection so I can attach the manifold which reduces again for 15mm feeds.

I do have high pressure water system. I have attached a picture. Far left pipe is outside tap feed.

Plumber is not answering me need to get this plumbed as my partner is coming out of hospital.

I don’t get why your trying to use a heating manifold system?
 
I’ve read this about 5 times and very confused, not sure what this “4 port manifold“ is (apart from something used on heating as mentioned above)
I have never used a “4 port manifold“ under a kitchen sink in 30 years as a plumber.

Just use 15mm pipe and fittings to connect everything.

Hot pipe to hot tap, with isolation valve on the pipe.

Cold pipe -
Tee to outside tap pipe, stopcock or lever valve required to isolate in cold weather.
Tee to cold tap, isolation valve on the pipe.
Tee for appliances and use a BSP compression appliance tee valve 3/4 x 3/4 x 15mm
from Screwfix (code 24030) This will save space to connect washing machine and dishwasher to same valve.
 
No reason not to increase to 22 and then reduce back down again if that's what it takes to connect everything up.

Though note your manifold may not be made of materials designed to be used for drinking water. If it's a temporary bodge that works until your plumber shows up, then I can see why you might use it anyway, but that's your choice to make.

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?

Hello all, I'm would like to extend an existing outside tap to another point in the garden. I'm about to pour a concrete patio and was hoping to run the water line underneath. There are existing drain (and who knows what) pipes running along the same wall so I'm nervous about digging too far...

Hi, I seemed to have a blockage in kitchen sink. A plumber came and cleared all the pipework that is visible inside my home (there was debris and pebbles!) We saw that the pipe that takes water down the gutter was visibly full to the top. He said he will return with a coil to push through...
