Replace multiple saddle valves with a manifold?
I’m up to three saddle valves on my copper plumbing (two ice makers and a humidifier). I want to dump the saddle valves and find a copper OR PEX manifold with the right size outlets (1/4″) to use with my ice makers and humidifer. I can’t find one online and I’m asking you all if there is such a manifold. If not, what would be the best way to use a manifold with larger outlets and reduce them to 1/4″ icemaker tubing? Thanks for any replies.

If you go to the plumbing section of a well-equipped hardware store they have cabinets or trays of all sorts of adapters from one size to another. Most likely you'll need a short piece of PEX from the manifold, transitioning to some sort of threaded adapter, transitioning to an adapter for your small tubing.
Multiple saddle valves
OK thanks for that info. I was hoping for a manifold without having to reduce but it is what it is.
