I have Rinnai water heater and need to tie in my basement washer box, kitchen and bathroom. I am not sure where or how I should cut in and if I should use a Pex manifold or not. Hoping someone could start me off in the right direction.

I would just cut a 3/4" T in each 3/4" line you have. 3/4 copper T with a pex adapter soldered in to the one side or if you don't have the means to solder, use a shark bite T. No tools required for that except a copper tubing cutter. Cut the T in wherever it's convenient for you. Pex manifolds aren't necessary but some people like them. Stay 3/4" until the last two fixtures though.

Ok, that makes sense. If it's easy to replace without tearing through drywall than sharkbites are good. Got it! Thanks
