Ferro 5-way manifold 1" with nipples RPN05, model RPN05

The FERRO 5-way manifold 1" with nipples RPN05 is a multi-branch distribution unit designed to manage water flow in heating and plumbing systems. It provides five outlet ports from a single 1" inlet and outlet, with integrated nipples for straightforward connection of branch circuits. The compact, functional design allows installation in central heating manifolds, underfloor heating zones or domestic water distribution assemblies where several feeds must be supplied from a single main line.

Advantages

The manifold offers centralized distribution of water to five separate circuits, reducing the need for multiple separate fittings and saving installation space. Integrated nipples simplify connection to pipes or flexible hoses and speed up assembly. Constructed for compatibility with standard 1" plumbing connections, the unit supports modular system design and easier maintenance by keeping branch lines organized and accessible.

Suitable for

• Underfloor heating zones requiring multiple circuit outlets
• Central heating manifolds in residential or light-commercial installations
• Domestic water distribution where branching from a 1" main is needed

Key specifications

• Number of outlets: 5
• Main connection size: 1" (inlet and outlet)
• Integrated nipples for branch connections
• Material: corrosion-resistant metal suitable for heating/plumbing use
• Intended medium: water for heating and domestic distribution

How to use

Install the manifold on a stable mounting plate or within a distribution cabinet according to local plumbing and heating regulations. Connect the 1" main supply and return lines to the primary inlet and outlet. Attach branch pipes or flexible hoses to the integrated nipples, ensuring proper sealing and torque on fittings. Flush the system before commissioning to remove debris, then fill and pressurize the network, checking for leaks at all connections. Where necessary, balance flow to each circuit using appropriate valves or flow meters installed downstream of the nipples.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with pipe materials and temperatures used in your system. Use thread sealant or appropriate gaskets on threaded connections, and perform a pressure test after installation. For optimal performance and longevity, follow local codes and the system designer's guidelines when integrating the manifold into heating or plumbing installations.
