@Sam` , good call on the lever valves , havent found similar manifolds (yet) so looks like mix n match might be like you said.cheersDo yourself a favour and don’t fit gate valves , get yourself some lever valves , gates are crap and will seize again . Lever valves are a 90 degree operation and less likely to fail , and will them being a handle , easier to operate in hard to reach areas plus if someone has issues with dexterity , they can easily use them .
I don’t fit gate valves anymore .
As for the manifolds , the best off the shelve chance will be pushfit or similar .
Your still going to need to do some pipepwork to match into new
you could either use a series of 22 x 22 x 10 copper tee’s , the last number denotes the branch size . Solder them in line , so all the 10mm branches face out to make a DIY manifold , or if you want to go down the route of pushfit or similar try Screwfix 217KR .@Sam` , good call on the lever valves , havent found similar manifolds (yet) so looks like mix n match might be like you said.cheers
as the pipe dont have much movement or spare length to play with dont think I would have much success with the 217kr , really need metal with similar ports and then push fit converters possibly , I see what you mean about the 4 way brass converter but how does it fit in the system , the T s are again another option but then you need converters to valve size as well ....might be I have to use old one , block broken port , solder around base of other ports to strengthen , but that is asking for trouble in reality.You

If your willing to order online , try these for purpose made .. https://www.bes.co.uk/22-mm-x-10-mm-4-way-brass-manifold-end-feed-7392/
