A manifold assembly for a peritoneal dialysis apparatus, comprises: a casing delimiting internally a first compartment and a second compartment; a yielding pump tube having a first end connected or connectable to the first compartment and a second end connected or connectable to the second compartment. The yielding pump tube extends outside the casing to be coupled to a peristaltic pump of a cycler of a peritoneal dialysis apparatus. The second compartment delimits expansion chambers configured to attenuate pressure pulsations from the peristaltic pump.
