To weld or not to weld, that is the question.
I'm assembling a five zone hydronic heating system and just bought all the 1.5" fittings necessary to hook it up. Not only were the parts pricey, but it will take a while to assemble them, so I was thinking maybe I should just weld up a manifold (well, two, actually, one for the supply, one for the return). It'd just be a piece of 1.5" steel pipe with holes drilled in it and 3/4" nipples welded over them. Seems easy enough and I can't see why this wouldn't work fine. I'm debating whether I should put a 1.5" to 3/4" adapter on the end of the pipe (need a shutoff valve per zone or I'd go straight to a 1.5" pump flange) or make all the zones the same and just use a cap. Can anyone think of any objections to the plan? Thanks.
