How much do you know about floor heating manifolds?

The floor heating water separator is a diversion device that divides the hot water from the main pipeline into several parts and sends them to the branch pipes of each room. It is an essential equipment for floor heating.

The manifold is mainly divided into two parts: the manifold (top) and the collector (bottom). The water separator is a water distribution device used to connect the water supply pipes of various heating pipes. The water collector is a water collecting device used to connect the return pipes of various heating pipes.

Four basic functions of boosting, decompressing, stabilizing and shunting. The sub-catchment consists of a water distribution main pipe and a water collection main pipe. The water distribution main pipe is connected to the water supply pipe of the pipe network system. Its main function is to distribute the hot water from the pipe network system to the indoor needs through the floor heating pipes buried under the floor. Floor heating in each room. When the hot water flows in the floor heating pipe, it transfers heat to the floor, and then radiates heat through the floor to the room.

In order to prevent corrosion, the manifold is generally made of corrosion-resistant pure copper or synthetic materials.

Commonly used materials include copper, stainless steel, nickel-plated copper, nickel-plated alloy, and high-temperature resistant plastics.

Selection of manifold

As more and more people accept water and floor heating, the manifold is gradually being recognized by people. However, there are many types of manifolds on the market, and the products vary. Therefore, consumers need to understand several points before choosing floor heating products.

1. Material structure

In order to ensure the quality of the manifold, various manufacturers have used their brains on the material and process structure of the product. From the material point of view, there are currently stainless steel, copper, polymer composite materials, etc. on the market; from the structural point of view, there are assembled, welded, and forged splicing types.

At present, the best embodiment of the perfect unity of the material and structure of the manifold is the integrated manifold made of brass. The brass integral forging not only solves the leakage problem of other manifolds from the structure of the product, but also effectively eliminates the hidden danger of water leakage of the manifold from the material.

2. Connection form

Since the operating environment of the manifold is often impacted by hot and cold water, general sealing materials are easily aging and damaged. So generally choose hard sealed links. Due to certain requirements on production technology, it is often difficult for small factories to achieve hard sealing.

3. Manufacturing Process

Manufacturing process control is a necessary link to ensure the quality of the manifold. The processing accuracy is not high, the assembled product is easy to loosen, the surface finish of the propulsion valve stem does not meet the requirements, etc., will seriously affect the service life and quality of the manifold, and even directly cause the manifold to leak. Therefore, you must understand the product structure, materials, after-sales service and other related information when selecting the manifold. Choose genuine and cost-effective products with reasonable structure and guaranteed after-sales service for FISPTE manifolds.

4. Quality performance 

The low-grade simple water divider cannot adjust the loop pressure loss and balance the flow, which may cause hydraulic imbalance, undercurrent or overcurrent, and make local heat or overheat. The room temperature control system relies on a high-end intelligent water separator. It is easy to install the control device, and can control the room temperature and running time of the system to achieve the purpose of comfort, energy saving and humanization.
