Radiant Heat Manifold?
When I put my system together I used noname manifolds. I am starting to notice a lot of corrosion where the pex tubing attaches. Been wondering if I will need to change them out and maybe upgrade to Uponor. Thoughts?

Before you rip into anything take a closer look and see exactly what is leaking. Maybe something just needs to be snugged up?
I used an Uponor stainless steel manifold on my system and was impressed with the quality, but the cost was painful.

Make sure everything tight.
I used a Bluefin manifold and no problems.
