The expansion vessel on my boiler was leaking from the joint to the manifold, just the odd drop now and again. Now, I know that I should not be in there, but I am technically experienced enough to put a bit of pipe tape on a joint and tighten it up again. Says he.

So, I turned off the gas, electricity and water and began to unscrew it when I realised that I had forgotten the header tank! Thankfully I had put a bucket under before starting........ drip, drip, drip, drip, whoosh! I was quick enough to screw it back in, but then spent ages doing bucket to window: empty. Swap! Wash up bowl to window: empty. Repeat as necessary.

It's now back together and watertight, but it was close!

whoops indeed

Thankfully it's a taper thread so I was able to catch it before disaster struck.

As soon as I seen the word manifold WM I was lost.

It's a block of metal with a number of inlets and outlets and internal drillings and valves connecting them. It saves on pipework, esp in small places.

Got it?

Are those next to the flange bracket?

No, no, no. You're thinking of washing machines where the flange bracket holds the balance grommet for the drum counter-weight.
