Thank you so much, It have always been debate from my viewers. No music or music. I'm not much talker on the camera.😀

Is it ok to re-heat the tubes and fit them in the new manifold, without cutting the tips first?

[@ArniAtlason]

Hi Eddy. There is no problem to heat the old manifold to reshape it to fit. Just let it cool down before you apply the glue.

thx for the vid. Just one Question: my clear pipes are attached to the PVC manifold (barbed) by means of spring clamps but it looks like they also used a blue colored glue. Should I use this glue when re attaching? I'm also not even sure that I can get the clear pipes off the manifold since the glue is hardened. Any advice would be much appreciated, thx.

Normally the blue glue is used on the clear pipe to the PVC manifold. I have seen them to put a clamp on it specially if the manifold is barbed that is so it will press the clear pipe into the barb and the glue. I would use a glue again because the clear pipe is thick and have be to pressed into barb then have no leak is very hard, you can try it first with no glue. Make a cut into the clear pipe and then use a heat gun on it and pealed off little by little, I have done it many times. I hope this will help you.

@@ArniAtlason I think that if I have to cut the clear pipe to get it off the old manifold, then I wont have enough slack to put the pipe back on. I have to do this to many clear pipes as the two main manifolds have cracked from freezing.

[@lozomex]

is there a trick to extending the length of the clear pipes if you have to cut them off the manifold?

[@ArniAtlason]

You can buy adapter online that you will put between the clear pipes to extend it I have done it couple of times. Depends on the inner size of the clear pipe. Here is example. spadepot.com/products/pvc-pipe-inside-connector-2-inch-bx9624
