Quality headers or manifolds
« on: July 12, 2010, 12:02:25 PM »

I wanted to build two large manifolds for my OWB so I could run several zones from it in the house.  Piecing it together of black iron fittings would run me over $300 in steel.  Then I found Earth Lee LTD in NY (thanks to someone on Hearth.com).  Lee Brooks (female btw) welds together headers of sch 40 steel or stainless steel.  Her standard headers are 1", 1-1/4", or 1-1/2" main trunks with 3/4" or 1" tees.  She also makes custom headers of all sizes and shapes.  I just got a quote from her on two 1-1/4" headers with 4 3/4" tees for $80 plus $12 shipping.  She uses American steel and these are welded together in NY.  I haven't found a better product or deal elsewhere.  I will be ordering shortly.

Here is her website:

I had to contact her directly since she usually sells only to wholesalers, but there was not one in my area. 

Here is an example of her work:

Mine came today.  1-1/4" body, five 3/4" outlets, two 1" inlets, and I'll be capping off the 1-1/4" ends for now.  Bad pic, my wife sent it to my phone because I'm at work.
