This 5-port stainless steel underfloor heating (UFH) manifold from Wärmer System is designed for efficient heat distribution in small to medium-sized UFH installations. It ensures balanced water flow and provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability. A key benefit is its complete set offering, including essential components like a pressure gauge and automatic air vent for system monitoring and efficiency. However, the 17mm pipe connections require specific euro cone fittings for loop connection, which may necessitate specialized adapters for different pipe sizes.

This manifold is designed with 17mm pipe connections. You will need to use appropriate 17mm euro cone fittings to connect your underfloor heating pipes.
It is ideal for small to medium-sized UFH installations. For very large areas requiring more than 5 heating circuits, a manifold with more ports would be necessary.
The pressure gauge allows you to monitor the water pressure within your underfloor heating system. Consistent pressure is vital for efficient operation and safety.
The automatic air vent continuously releases trapped air from the system, preventing airlocks that can reduce heating efficiency and cause noise. It typically releases air when it builds up and the system is under pressure.
The manifold is designed for straightforward installation and is suitable for both professional installers and DIY use. However, if you are not experienced with plumbing or UFH systems, professional installation is recommended.
Regular checks of the pressure gauge and ensuring the air vent is clear are the primary maintenance tasks. Periodically inspect connections for leaks.
The manifold comes already attached to a mounting bracket, simplifying the process of securing it to your wall or installation board. You can then position the bracket and manifold as needed for your system.
Check if the automatic air vent is functioning and has released trapped air. Ensure all UFH loops are open and balanced using the control valves on the manifold.
Check for leaks in the system. If no leaks are found, top up the system pressure via the filling/drain-off valve according to your boiler manufacturer's instructions.
Tighten the specific connection carefully. If the leak persists, the euro cone fitting or seal may need replacement.
Ensure the isolating valve for that loop is fully closed. If it is stiff, apply gentle pressure. For persistent issues, professional servicing may be required.
