DeutschA heating manifold is an important part of an underfloor heating system. It controls the flow of water through the entire system. This enables an even distribution of heat across the floor. The type of manifold you use depends on the type of UFH system you have.
Manifolds can be made of various materials. For instance, plastic and brass manifolds are usually simple tubes with multiple branches. However, they are also available in co-planar and bi-polar designs.
A typical heating system consists of a manifold, a primary heating circuit, a return bar, and a blending valve. These components work together to ensure that the water in the floor is always at the desired temperature.
Each loop on the return bar has an open/close valve. This valve opens/closes the loop according to the instructions of the thermostat. In addition, every loop has a flow meter to provide information on the rate of water flowing through the loop.
Underfloor heating manifolds should be placed as close to the heat source as possible. If the heat source is very far away, the potential for heat loss may be increased. Another consideration is the proximity of other technology.
Most heating manifolds are designed to operate up to 120 Metres of underfloor heating pipes per circuit. There are a number of manufacturers who produce ready-mounted manifold sets. You can also purchase components based on your requirements.
Manifolds should be installed by a qualified professional. They should be mounted as near to the heat source as possible, with an elevation of about 75mm above the finished floor level.
