Hi all,
I need to replace a copper microbore manifold but can't find one to match.
Just moved to a 30 year old house, copper microbore c/h system. Bathroom radiator not working when moved in. Had boiler replaced, (failed its service), which included power flush but it didn't clear the radiator. I drained system,

removed radiator and tried bicycle pump on pipes, one clear but other one blocked. Had floorboards up and located manifold, see picture. There are 8 X 10mm compression fittings, it looks like both feed & return pipes from 4 radiators are connected to the one manifold!!!! (Not sure how that would work but all the other radiators get very hot).
I wish to replace the manifold because it looks like it has been leaking, and while it's off I will clean the pipes to clear the blockage. I looked online and it looks like it's a Pegler Yorkshire Manifold but now unavailable!
Advice please, where can I get a similar manifold and if it connects to the feed & return, how does it work, is there a baffle in the middle?
Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks, am I right in thinking my original manifold has a baffle in the middle to separate flow & return? If so, x2 Toolstation manifolds and solder 10mm's straight onto 22mm ends of the F&R would work great. Thanks

I have a badly blocked feed pipe to kitchen rad, was running very slowly but I’ve made it much worse trying to clear blockage with curtain wire, pushing the blockage to the manifold I think now totally blocked. Return pipe is clear. Exposing manifold is major as it’s between floors and involves...

Do people with this type of mixed flow temperature control have any problems with achieving the required manifold flow temperature? The one below I think is similar to the TIO Mixing unit. In the unit below, the hot (boiler) water enters from the bottom left, red arrow, up through the "mixing...
