Water Manifold Consolidation: 12 Parts to 3 with Stainless Steel MIM

Assembly complexity drives warranty cost

Every brazed joint in a copper manifold is a potential field failure. Consolidation via MIM reduces joints and assembly labor.

Project snapshot

  • Before: 12 machined brass components, 11 brazed joints
  • After: 3 MIM stainless bodies, 2 gasket interfaces
  • Result: 38% material savings, 22% lighter assembly
