Yes, usually I like to start it with some copper (8 inches) and then attach pex adapters. You can run it directly to it, but it's awkward you're crimping on pex to brass fittings on the tank, it's hard to crimp. If you can manage it, there's nothing wrong with it. It's easier to add a copper nipple first.

What is the flow rate of water through .75 inch pex pipe at 40 psi in gpm?
The standard formula to calculate flow(GPM - gallons per minute) from a CIRCULAR orifice is:29.7 * (the square root of the pressure) * (the square of the diameter of the flow orifice)EXAMPLE using 3/4" Pex Pipe(actual I.D. of 3/4 PEX Pipe is .677") and 40 PSI pressure:29.7 * 6.325(sq. root of 40) * .458(the square of the I.D. 3/4" pipe) =A GPM of 86.03Note: You also need to account for fittings in the loss calculations; while minimal several fitting will make a difference.

It depends on the length of the run. 3/8 pipe tends to be a little small and will restrict the flow. Use the 1/2 if you can. It's not that much extra but it will give you much better water delivery. Of course, between the manifold and the water heater, use 3/4 inch or larger copper. ___________________ I would have to agree with the previous contributor. 1/2" PEX is indeed the preferred size for running the water to the plumbing fixtures.
