I am not arguing that, I am saying you will not be able to make use of those fins. That manifold with slit isn't going to work. It is to long with to small of an inlet. Maybe if you used three 1/2" inlets with the same slit? With that big slit the water will still just use the middle channels and not the outter ones. Unless you can create enough pressure to force water through all those channels, but then you would need outlets that would be the same as the inlet. Because trying to force to water out two 1/2" outlets on the side is going to make the water in the outer channels just fill up and do nothing. Water will take the route of least resistance which will be strait down and left to right in the middle of the block assuming the outlets are in the middle of the block. If you had 3 inlets in line, and 3 outlets in line on both sides you might be able to get the water to go somewhat evenly through all the channels.
