The Thermostatic Floor Heating Valve System

Thermostatic mixing valves are vital to any radiant floor heating system. They allow you to reduce the temperature of the water in the radiant circuit and increase the temperature of the heat source.Thermostatic mixing valves are available in various sizes and configurations. A three way thermostatic valve is commonly installed between a conventional gas or oil-fired boiler and the low temperature radiant floor. It enables you to heat your floor more effectively and efficiently.
Several other types of thermostatic valves can be used to control your heating system. In fact, the Taco zone valve controls are a great solution for simplifying the installation of radiant heat.One of the major advantages of a zoning system is that it can reduce energy usage. The homeowner can choose to have the system heat the area in which he or she lives or to heat a large area. For instance, a four-circuit radiant heat installation can be used to heat both the lower and upper floors of the house.
A zoning system also allows homeowners to regulate the temperature in each room. This reduces the amount of time needed to heat the whole home.To keep a zoning system working, it is important that the pipe loops are properly arranged to distribute the heat evenly. A manifold is the key to this.
The manifold connects the pipe circuits in the floor and ensures that the correct flow of water into each zone. It is also the control centre for the UFH system.
