How much did the JB cost?

Can anyone explain to me how the "new" J/B Manifold can operate with valves perpendicular to the front without ripping off Digi-Cools design? or is it not a rip off?

Indy all those valves are all on the front like all the rest of the 1/4 turn ball valve manifolds out there. That old design will not work if you locate the knobs on the side of the manifold like a traditional valved set.

Okay I see what you are saying. I guess I didn't understand your post. All I was trying to say in my post is that ball valve manifolds are nothing new as you already know. Some of the newer guys to HVAC may not have realized that.

Probably the best way for you to resolve that issue, is to call JB....
