Safari class C water supply manifold

Post by curry »

I haven't posted here in a while, but I've gotten great help in the past. We have a 1998 Safari 24 foot class c. I'm making an assumption that most Safaris have a similar house water system. Ours is a plastic manifold system. Did others come with this type of system and if so, are there any places to get parts for them? I'm looking for the black parts where all the pex connectors end up.
This is a stab in the dark. If anyone knows about these systems I could go outside and take a picture, but it's pouring outside and I'd have to unhook the cover. My guess is that they probably used the same system for quite a while, but I could be wrong. Any ideas would be appreciated.
If I remember correctly it was called something like a 'Magnablock system'.

A photo would be very helpful. I didn't think any class C Safaris were made until after Monaco bought Safari out around 2003 or so.

The water manifolds in my 1997 Ivory are built of from "Flare-It" manifold valves. All connected together in rows.

Flare-It brand valves look like the pic below.

The PEX connectors look similar but everything on the manabloc system is black plastic. My RV is a 1998 when Safaris were made in Harney County Oregon.

my issue is not with the connectors. It is with the bottom of the Manabloc itself. It has a crack.

There are a lot of possible manufacturers that could have supplied the manifold. Flare-It is the most common I know of. Does it look like this?

Or maybe like this?

It looks more like the first one. Thanks for the response. We're having one of those 'atmospheric rivers' at the moment if the wind drops and the rain slows down I'll unhook the cover and try to get a picture. I just need the bottom plate. I've Mcgyvered for now, but I would prefer a better solution.

If the style matches the first one check with Flare-It.

Sorry for all the pictures. It didn't look like this on preview. I've always had trouble posting pictures here. I didn't intend it to look like this.
