Single port manifold for underfloor heating

Single port manifold for underfloor heating

A single-port manifold for underfloor heating is typically used in small, localized applications or extensions to an existing underfloor heating system. These manifolds control water flow to a single heating loop and are suitable for areas like:

• Small bathrooms or en-suites.
• Single-room installations.
• Extensions where integrating with a larger manifold is impractical.

Features of a Single-Port Manifold:

1. Flow Control Valve: To regulate the flow of water into the loop and maintain the desired temperature.
2. Return Valve: To control and manage the water exiting the loop.
3. Thermostatic Control (Optional): Some systems include a thermostatic head or sensor for precise temperature control.
4. Compact Design: Easy to install in tight spaces, such as behind a wall or in a floor box.
5. Materials: Typically made of brass, stainless steel, or composite materials for durability and corrosion resistance.

Installation Considerations:

• Pipe Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with the underfloor heating pipes (e.g., PEX or multilayer composite pipes).
• Connection to Heat Source: The single-port manifold needs to connect to a boiler, heat pump, or other heat source, often through a mixing valve or pump to maintain appropriate water temperatures.
• Isolation Valves: Adding isolation valves can make maintenance easier.

Suitable Scenarios:

If you’re installing this for a small zone, ensure the water temperature and flow rate are properly matched to the loop’s requirements. Consult with a heating engineer to confirm sizing and compatibility with your existing system.
