Project Ideas
Business
Custom Manifold Fabrication Service
Offer made-to-order 1-inch PEX manifolds for plumbers, remodelers, and DIYers. Use the press jaw to build labeled, pressure-tested boards: main headers with isolation, drain/purge ports, pressure gauges, and reduced takeoffs preconfigured for water heaters, irrigation, or radiant zones. Sell standardized SKUs and rapid-turn custom builds.
Rapid Repipe Specialist (1-inch Mains)
Build a niche repipe crew focused on upsizing/modernizing main lines and manifolds in older homes. The compact jaw pairs with the DEWALT press tool for fast, consistent F1807 crimps in tight basements and crawlspaces. Offer same-day main swaps, water shutoff optimization, and labeled branch manifolds as a premium package.
Community Garden/Urban Farm Water Installs
Design and install robust 1-inch PEX trunk lines with zone valves for community beds, hoop houses, and farm stands. Press headers, filter/PRV assemblies, and reduced drip zones on-site for quick deployment. Provide seasonal blowout/winterization services and UV-protective coverings or conduit as part of maintenance contracts.
Tiny Home Utility Core Prefab
Prefabricate compact utility cores for tiny homes and ADUs: a 1-inch PEX cold/hot manifold, reduced branches, shutoffs, and service ports mounted to a panel. The press jaw’s single-finger actuation speeds repetitive builds. Ship ready-to-install cores to builders, reducing on-site plumbing time and call-backs.
Event Water Distribution Rentals
Provide temporary potable water manifolds for festivals and pop-ups. Use 1-inch PEX headers with labeled outlets to feed vendor sinks and handwash stations. Fast press assembly enables rapid setup/teardown; include backflow prevention, filtration, pressure regulation, and protective jacketing for sun exposure. Bill per event with delivery, setup, and standby support.

Rainwater Garden Distribution Manifold
Use the 1-inch jaw to build a full-bore PEX trunk from your rain tanks and pump to multiple garden zones. Crimp together a compact manifold with F1807 tees, ball valves, and reducers to 3/4 or 1/2 inch for drip lines and hose bibs. The 1-inch size keeps friction losses low for simultaneous watering, and single-finger actuation helps when working inside barrel cabinets or tight sheds. Add labeled ports and quick-drain stubs for winterizing.
Shed/Greenhouse Radiant Floor Kit
Create a 1-inch PEX supply/return manifold that feeds several 1/2-inch radiant loops stapled under a shed or greenhouse floor. Use the press jaw to assemble a tidy board-mounted manifold with isolation valves, purge ports, a mixing valve, and a small circulator. The compact jaw makes reliable crimps in tight wall cavities, and the 1-inch header ensures stable flow across loops.
Aquaponics/Hydroponics Feed Ring
Build a 1-inch PEX ring main around grow beds or towers, then reduce to 1/2-inch drops with valves to tune each bed’s flow. The rust-resistant jaw is ideal for humid grow spaces. Press in a bypass loop, check valves, and a filter housing for easy maintenance. The high-visibility size markings help you keep fittings organized while you assemble the system.
Outdoor Utility Wall (Dog Wash + Hose Bibs + Misting)
Frame a small utility panel with a 1-inch PEX backbone supplying a dog wash mixer, multiple hose bibs, and a seasonal misting loop. Use F1807 tees and ball valves to isolate features, plus a drain leg for winterization. One-handed jaw actuation speeds assembly on a ladder and in cramped exterior chases.
Cold Plunge and Shower Duo
Plumb a 1-inch PEX supply/return manifold that can divert flow between an outdoor cold plunge tub and a rinse shower. Press in diverter valves, thermometer ports, and quick-connects for a chiller loop. The 1-inch jaw ensures full flow to fill/flush quickly while keeping connections consistent and leak-free.
