I'm going to build a copper manifold for my MLT and I had a question regarding what palmer says about the design. He says:
"The transverse tubes in the rectangular tun should not be slotted to prevent channeling. The longitudinal slotted tubes adequately cover the floor area without the transverse tubes help. The slots can face up, down or to the side; hydraulically, it makes no difference."
So based on my proposed design, does this mean that only the vertical pipes should be slotted and the two long horizontal ones on the sides against the walls should not?
