No its not.. this is a cheap way of doing it... You'll need to watch the galvanized pipe as it'll begin to rust and eventually leak due to the heat... The best is to use copper...

There is not a manifold on a water heater, they are installed after or with the heater. A manifold is a branch that allows several water lines to be hooked up to one supply.

Off of the hot line is a manifold that has 2--# , this way you can run, say, ten different lines off of the manifold to all the fixtures you have.
