I am looking at Uponor manifolds and they have three lines, TruFLOW Junior, TruFLOW Classic, and EB (plastic). The website doesn't really tell you what the differences are between these three other than the EB version is "cost effective". However I noticed the EB version is the most expensive online!
Can someone shed some light on the three versions?
Thanks

You'll have to take another look. I guarantee you that the plastic ones are cheaper when you are comparing apples to apples. The plastic assemblies tend to come with all the features and options either molded in or assembled. The Tru flow family is modular. If you assembled the metal units with all of the same features the cost is higher. TruFlow Jr. has 2/3 the throughput of it's big daddy.

any chance you can hook me up with links which give the flow throughput? Their website just shows a nice picture.
thanks

It's 21 gpm for classic, 14 gpm for Jr. and about 15 gpm for the EP.
