How to Build a 3-Port PVC Manifold in 3 Easy Steps

A 3-Port PVC Manifold is perfect for garden irrigation, hydroponics, or water distribution projects. You can easily make one using a PVC 4-Way Cross and two 90-Degree Street Elbows. Follow these three simple steps:

Step 1 – Gather Your Materials

You will need:

1 × PVC 4-Way Cross
2 × 90-Degree Street Elbows (same size as the cross)
PVC Primer and PVC Cement

Available sizes: ½ inch, ¾ inch, 1 inch, 1¼ inch, 1½ inch, and 2 inches.

Recommendation: Get your PVC fittings from 247Garden. All fittings meet NSF and ASTM standards, ensuring high-quality, durable performance. 247Garden also offers excellent customer service and fast shipping.

Step 2 – Connect the Elbows to the Cross

Insert one 90-Degree Street Elbow into one side opening of the 4-Way Cross.
Repeat on the opposite side to create two angled ports.
Make sure the open ends of the elbows face outward in the direction you want your manifold ports to go.

Step 3 – Secure and Seal

Apply PVC primer to all connection points for better adhesion.
Apply PVC cement, then push and twist fittings together for a secure, watertight seal.
Allow the cement to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions before using the manifold.

With these steps, you now have a strong, durable 3-Port PVC Manifold. Using high-quality parts from 247Garden will help ensure your manifold performs reliably for years.
