‘A’ rated manifold with auto airvents, a mixing valve & patented pipe connections.

The manifold distributes the primary warm water into each underfloor heating circuit. The manifold is the central point for the underfloor heating system, bringing together the warm water feed from a heat source (such as a boiler, heat pump or thermal store), the pipe work from the floor and also the thermostat wiring.

A manifold can serve areas up to 200m2 but installation is easier if a manifold is installed in accessible locations on each floor. The size of the manifold depends on the area it is serving. Timóleon provides details on manifold dimensions with all of its quote and specifications.

The Timóleon Axios manifold is pre-assembled, ready for installation and provides all the functionality stipulated by British Standards (BS1264-4) for an underfloor heating manifold.

Installation and commissioning of the Axios manifold is straightforward. Each underfloor heating circuit can be individually isolated without disrupting the balancing settings, an important feature as the manifold circuits must be balanced to ensure the performance of the heating system in each room.

A boiler might supply water to the manifold at high temperature. In this situation, a water mixing valve and circulator can be added to reduce the water temperature to that needed by the underfloor heating system. The Axios manifold is available with a preassembled mixing valve and “A” rated Grundfos Alpha 2L circulator.
