Like all good tpoics there are as many solutions as there are bee keepers.
I looked at the manifold solution but in the end just went with individual 25mm pipes which ran to individual jars.
I was able to swap the containers in and out without touching the tube. The picture shows the very first run which was the trial run. I did 3 pipes into 3 containers no worries and could have done 6 at a time except a design flaw in the box made the back 3 tubs inaccessible.

thanks @busso - another nice solution to take on board,i like the āboxā and guide holes, you could even have drop down cloth or insect screen at the 2 open faces and keep ārobbersā out

@semaphore - thanks Jack, like the photos and the setup, - as @busso said āLike all good topics there are as many solutions as there are bee keepersā, your solution is nice and simple for combining 2 or more frames into 1 ābucketā, but at the moment we still want to watch and see and taste the individual frame differences

@Semaphore you have to think of the most elaborate difficult way to do things first.
The solution above is my simple solution 
Early versions involved something resembling the exhaust system in a V12 racing car and required 2 people, a tractor and a Labrador dog to move. 
I always say ādo it complicated first and then marvel at the simple versionā I very rarely read the handbook as well.LOL
