Need help in small project

[tropic]

Sorry for the crappy drawing. I want to do up something as the attached photo. Basically the input is from one of the pumps and its connected to a barb connecting input along a pvc pipe. There are a couple of outputs with control valves to regulate the flow to various equipments such as chiller and reactors , fuge etc. I can use a high flowrate pump and regulate the output to meet the few equipments. Minimise additional pump or heat. Have anyone done something similar to this? I am trying to get some ideas but am unable to give a term to this diy device. I am sure that this may have been done before and hope to see some pictures or suggestions. thanks.

Bro hotsoup have something like that. It's actually a 2nd return pump with the option to redirect part of its flow to equipments. See his tank spec link below.

I believe the proper term for this is manifold. But the last output will probably experience lower flow if the other outputs in front are also open.

Manifold system, will require a very high flow pump if not it is unless as the flow will get smaller and it is no good for any equipment...

Maybe using Y-connectors can cut down on flow restriction since the bend is less severe?

So need 3 of these to get the same result of bro tropic's drawing. Not sure if local hardware shops carry something like this.

YEs! manifold is the word..much easier for me to find resources. Thanks for the inputs and link bro. I am planning to run a 5000-6000 l/h pump ..output one for chiller , reactor and others.
