Context:
"Von jedem Ventil wird eine flexible Kunststoffschlauch-Verbindung zu einer PVC-Sammelrohrleitung hergestellt, die zu einem oder mehreren Geräten führt."
"Dieses Ventil ist mit Anschlussverschraubungen DN15 zum Einbau in eine PVC-(Sammel)Rohrleitung oder zum Anschluss an PE-Schlauch ausgestattet."
I'm especially bothered by "(Sammel)Rohrleitung". I have found various translations of "Sammelrohrleitung"such as "main conduit" "intercepting pipe" or "collecting pipeline", but I have a feeling this might actually be meant to be a manifold (Sammelleitung).

Note from asker:
| Many thanks! I thought it must be, it seemed the only logical translation. |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Alan Johnson
: I think manifold is good here. It's obviously a distributor and not a collector, so distribution manifold might also be an option, if you dislike vageries.

Peer comment(s):

Alan Johnson
: From the text provided: "zu einem oder mehreren Geräten führt", so it's not collecting anything. What exactly is "plumping"?

should have been "plumbing"

Kim Metzger
: The target language is English./Plumbing certainly isn't what a native speaker would use.

header
Just another alternative, because I agree with you that this might be a header.
Note from asker:
| Thanks, but I'm not quite sure who you agree with about header. I didn't suggest that, did I? |

main conduit
My proposal: The flexible tubes may come from a manifold system (context?), but they are combined in a PVC main conduit which leads to the respective device. See link below for "PVC manifolds!" Perhaps the illustrations will make things clearer.
Discussion
ich zitiere aus dem Text in Davids Beispiel: "die zu einem oder mehreren Geräten führt". Also wird nicht gesammelt, sondern verteilt, oder habe ich es falsch verstanden?
