Plumbing a microhydro unit can be tricky! There is nothing worse then being out in the woods and realizing that you are missing a part and the nearest hardware store is 3 hours away!

Our manifold kit includes all the pieces that are needed plumb the water from a 2" poly pipe into the stream engine avoiding the 90 degree bends that will reduce your dynamic pressure and power output.

This kit makes use of flexible PVC pipe to deliver the water to both sides of the turbine without any abrupt turns. This manifold can be easily uncoupled from the turbine if you need to change nozzles to accomodate the different flow conditions that you have at your site.

The diagram included with the kit gives you the basic layout for how you can orient the parts from which you can adjust the set up to suit your particular site. Customizing the plumbing to fit your situation can save a lot of future frustrations!
