Hi there,

Looking at Hep2o fittings online. Most of the fittings have female sockets but some have male spigots, for example some of the elbows. The photos on their website show these even come with a metal insert already fitted to the male spigot as you would fit one to a piece of pipe - super duper.

Anyway, the spigot manifolds are described as 'closed' spigot (and no metal insert is visible). Can anyone confirm my thoughts that the spigots on these are sealed/blanked off? If so are they designed so that you can cut off the closed bit to open them and add a metal insert? I'm hoping to 'stack' a number of these manifolds to create manifolds with more ports. I know I could just use the socket-both-ends manifolds with short length of pipe between, but it seems much more elegant to stack the spigot manifolds together (but of course not if they're blanked off!).

If they can't be opened and fit into sockets, then what exactly is the point of the spigots being there?

Any advice appreciated! Cheers,

Liam
