French manifold system

[punter]

Hi
Anybody got any experience of the 'manifold' system as used in France? Mainly wondering if you can buy them with a mixture of different fittings ie for 12mm for toilet, 14mm for sink, 18mm bath, etc
Looks much easier to add and maintain than the 'spaghetti pipes' we end up with over here lol
Thanks

Thanks for reply Steve. Don't think things are as bad in France as some seem to make out. Plumbing doesn't get inspected but a Consuel bloke needs to check the electrics. They don't allow 'ring circuits' so you might end up with 30 fuses in your consumer unit rather than 10 but it's a lot easier to troubleshoot..
Anyway I digress, i quite like the look of the plumbing stuff, see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=accaq0SKwtU
even a muppet like me could handle that :teeth_smile:
