Pex fitting to go directly to 3/8" on manabloc system

Got a manabloc system with 1/2" pex lines running to each faucet. I connected the sink faucet no problem as it had the 1/2" NPT fittings. However, the other 7 faucets all utilize 3/8" NPT female ends. I am not able to find any fittings that go directly from the 1/2" pex to the 3/8" male. Being a manabloc I dont really want to use shutoffs, but those are teh only fittings I have found that do what we are after. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

code says each fixture shall have a shutoff

get a 1/2'' pex x 3/8'' compression adapter

then use a lav/sink supply tube to hook it up

Maybe I left out that we have a manabloc, so that is our shutoff, so need for additional shutoffs.

no, you did not leave out you have a manabloc, you still have to have a valve
at EACH fixture

a control valve shall be installed immediatly ahead of each water supplied appliance and immediately ahead of each slip joint or non metalic fixture supply or appliance supply

Thats good to hear. My code just says toilet and HWT. But it should definitely be code to have shut offs at each fixture.

I am in Utah and we use 2010 code I believe, I dont have my original plans to see it right now. However, none of the homes here use duplicate shutoffs. I checked our cabin built in 2008 and checked with two neighbors having newer homes and none of the three use duplicate shutoffs.
What code are you quoting there?

upc water supply an distribution 605.5



utah is IPC code, not UPC

that is the reason we ask that you tell us what state you are in, when posting.

Thanks for teh posts guys, can anyone actually answer the actual question posed? Question being how does one go from 1/2" PEX directly to the 3/8" compression male fittings that the fixtures have on them without a shutoff? Nothing was requested about code, this is allowed where I am.
Thanks guys!

go back and read, that was answered the 2nd post

You want a 1/2" pex x 3/8 compression adapter.

Damn it Frodo why didn't you think of that?

So, who makes such an adapter? Not seeing anything by Sioux Chief, sharkbite or Watts.

do a google search, i did and saw bunch of em

do you mind lending me your secret google url? I have done dozens of combinations of wordings. The only one I found without a shutoff is the Home Depot's Canadian website, but that upc doesnt work on their US site.
I searched the following combinations:
3/8" compression to 1/2" pex fitting-found canadian match only-https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.12-inch-pex-x-38-inch-compression-adapter-straight-host.1000105968.html
1/2" pex to 3/8" compression found this one, but site doesnt show how to order, maybe out of stock http://www.lyncar.com/plumbing/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1248
Thanks for the insight!

I'm sorry if this is wrong way to ask but finally found place to type. Trying to find out why I've a bad leak twice using the washer and this last time flushing the toilet sent another flooding episode So I'm trying to figure out how serious it is and if I want to try and flush again the water is coming from plastic pipe that I've never noticed or seen before reading I'm thinking its the drain vent? Please help

Thanks for looking Frodo Here is what I found on your links:
http://screencast.com/t/m7sfW69suNU This is a braided hose
http://screencast.com/t/IuF3IkUn2eu9 This is compression fitting on both sides, no pex on either
http://screencast.com/t/8SqZPHiNDA This one is 1/2" pex to 1/2" female, are you implying to use both fittings together? My whole issue is trying to find this being done with a single fitting. I did find this one on the Canadian site, but not in US, anyone do that? I can certainly do that, just seems silly that this isnt more common with as common as manablocs have become
