Manifold Heads

Aquamor manifold heads across the BGC, BGE, BGM, and BGX families, one to four cartridges in parallel, with a polish-stage cartridge available in series behind the parallel bank. Most families run on threaded NPT ports; the BGC line also offers Quick Connect bracket-mounted assemblies. Connections run 3/8 inch, 3/4 inch, and 1 inch.

Two Flow Patterns

Parallel banks, with an optional series polish stage, across four families

Every Aquamor manifold head starts with a parallel bank: one inlet splits evenly across one to four cartridges, and the outlets rejoin into a single line. Some configurations add a polish stage, one additional cartridge in series after the parallel bank, for a final pass before the water leaves the manifold. A bank with only one cartridge in the parallel position, feeding a polish stage, is simply two cartridges in series, the same idea at its smallest size.

  • Four families: BGC, BGE, BGM, and BGX, the same eight core configurations, single through quad plus the polish-stage variants, available across all four.
  • Single, Twin, Triple, or Quad, one to four cartridges in parallel, sharing one inlet and one outlet.
  • 1+1, 2+1, 3+1, or 4+1, the same parallel bank sizes, plus one additional cartridge in series as a polish stage.
  • Threaded NPT heads or Quick Connect brackets, most families mount as a threaded head; the BGC line also offers bracket-mounted assemblies on Quick Connect fittings for tool-free cartridge service.
  • 3/8 inch, 3/4 inch, or 1 inch connections, size varies by configuration and family; see the matrix below for which sizes are available on each.
  • Rinse valve and pressure gauge, available as options on most configurations; see the matrix for exact fitment per part number.

BGC, BGE, BGM, and BGX Manifold Families

Eight configurations, across four manifold families

Each card below is one configuration, available across the BGC, BGE, BGM, and BGX threaded-head families. Port size, rinse valve, and pressure gauge fitment vary by family and part number; every part number is listed in its table.

INOUT
Single

One cartridge, all the water

A single-head manifold routes all incoming water through one cartridge before it leaves the manifold. There is nothing to split and nothing downstream for the water to pass through again: the cartridge installed is doing the entire job. It is the simplest arrangement in this lineup, and the most straightforward to service because there is only one cartridge to track and change.

Best for: Lower-volume applications, a single piece of equipment, or any spot where one cartridge's flow rate and capacity are enough. Cartridge compatibility is confirmed case by case. Contact Customer Service to verify fit for your cartridge model before ordering.

INOUT
Twin

Two cartridges sharing the load, in parallel

A twin manifold splits incoming water across two cartridges running side by side, then recombines the two streams on the outlet side. Each cartridge only treats its own share of the flow. Splitting the load this way raises the combined flow rate the manifold can support and stretches the combined capacity before either cartridge is due for a changeout, while the level of filtration each gallon receives stays the same as a single cartridge would provide.

INOUT
Triple

Three cartridges in parallel, higher combined flow

A triple manifold splits incoming water across three cartridges running side by side and brings the three streams back together on the outlet. Each cartridge only carries a third of the total flow, so the bank as a whole supports more combined volume and more combined capacity before a changeout than a single cartridge could. The filtration each gallon receives does not change; what changes is how much water the manifold can move.

Quad

Four cartridges in parallel, the largest bank

A quad manifold divides incoming water across four cartridges running side by side and recombines the four streams on the outlet. Splitting the load four ways is how this family supports its highest combined flow rate and its longest combined capacity before any cartridge needs changing. Each gallon still only passes through one cartridge; the four positions exist to carry more total volume.

1+1

One cartridge, then a second in series to polish

In a 1+1 manifold, all the water passes through the first cartridge, then every drop of that same water passes through a second cartridge downstream before it leaves the manifold. Nothing is split: the two cartridges are in series, so the second one is a polish stage that adds a further treatment step rather than added flow capacity. It is a way to layer two different jobs, for example a sediment stage ahead of a taste-and-odor stage, onto one water stream.

2+1

Two cartridges in parallel, then a polish stage

A 2+1 manifold pairs a two-cartridge parallel bank with one more cartridge in series downstream. The parallel pair splits the incoming water and supports higher combined flow and capacity; the water then recombines and every gallon passes through the third cartridge as a final polish step. One manifold delivers both added flow support and an additional treatment stage.

3+1

Three cartridges in parallel, then a polish stage

A 3+1 manifold splits incoming water across three cartridges running side by side, recombines the flow, then runs every gallon through a fourth cartridge in series. The three-cartridge bank carries the flow rate and capacity; the fourth cartridge downstream is a polish stage the whole recombined stream passes through once, adding a treatment step rather than more volume.

4+1

Four cartridges in parallel, then a polish stage

A 4+1 manifold is the largest configuration in this family: four cartridges run side by side to carry the flow, and a fifth cartridge sits downstream in series, treating the full recombined stream one more time before it leaves the manifold. The parallel bank gives the manifold its flow rate and capacity; the fifth position is a dedicated final stage every gallon passes through.

INOUT
Triple, Series, Quick Connect

105030   BGC Triple Series Bracket Assembly, Quick Connect, Gauge and Pressure Relief

The 105030 extends the 105026's series arrangement to three cartridges, still on Quick Connect fittings with a gauge and pressure-relief feature. All incoming water passes through all three cartridges in sequence, giving the installation three layered treatment stages from one bracket-mounted assembly.

Port connection: 3/8 inch Quick Connect. Cartridge compatibility is confirmed case by case. Contact Customer Service to verify fit for your cartridge model before ordering.

INOUT
Dual, Parallel, Quick Connect

105035   BGC Dual Parallel Bracket Assembly, Quick Connect, Gauge and Pressure Relief

The 105035 is a two-cartridge bracket-mounted BGC assembly wired for parallel flow, on Quick Connect fittings with a gauge and a pressure-relief feature. Splitting the flow across two cartridges gives it more combined flow and capacity than the single 105021, in the same compact bracket format.

Port connection: 3/8 inch Quick Connect. Cartridge compatibility is confirmed case by case. Contact Customer Service to verify fit for your cartridge model before ordering.

INOUT
Triple, Parallel, Quick Connect

105039   BGC Triple Parallel Bracket Assembly, Quick Connect, Gauge and Pressure Relief

The 105039 extends the 105035's parallel bank to three cartridges, still on Quick Connect fittings with a gauge and pressure-relief feature. It is the highest-flow option in the BGC bracket-mounted line, for installations that need more capacity than a two-cartridge parallel bank in the same quick-connect footprint.

Port connection: 3/8 inch Quick Connect. Cartridge compatibility is confirmed case by case. Contact Customer Service to verify fit for your cartridge model before ordering.

BGX Family

Extended BGX configurations

Two additional BGX builds sit outside the eight core configurations above. Both are engineered variants of the core arrangements, confirmed against their engineering drawings.

INOUT
1+3 Stage

105220   BGX 1+3 Stage Manifold, 3/4 in NPT Inlet, Pressure Gauge, No Rinse Valve

The 105220 is a four position BGX manifold, 22.283 inches overall, with a 3/4 inch NPT inlet and 3/4 inch NPT elbow fittings. It carries a pressure gauge and no rinse valve. The full incoming stream passes through a single first stage, then divides across a three cartridge parallel bank.

Port connection: 3/4 inch NPT. Contact Customer Service before specifying.

INOUT
1+1A

105221   BGX 1+1A Manifold, 1 in NPT, Rinse Valve and Pressure Gauge

The 105221 is the 1+1 arrangement built on 1 inch NPT connections rather than the standard 3/4 inch, with a rinse valve and pressure gauge. The engineering drawing shows the same two head layout and the same series crossover as the 105216, so the water path is identical; the A designation marks the larger port size and the alternate outlet fitting.

Port connection: 1 inch NPT. Contact Customer Service before specifying.
