U-TUBE Controlled Manifold with Flowmeter 10 — Underfloor Heating Manifold with 10 Flowmeters

The U-TUBE Controlled Manifold with Flowmeter 10 is an underfloor heating manifold designed to distribute and regulate heated water across ten separate circuits. Each circuit features an individual flowmeter for precise measurement and balancing, enabling stable and even heat distribution across zones. The unit is intended for use in hydronic underfloor heating systems where independent control and monitoring of multiple loops are required.

Advantages

The manifold provides individual flow measurement for ten circuits, which simplifies hydraulic balancing and helps maintain consistent temperatures across different zones. Its modular design allows straightforward integration into existing or new underfloor heating installations. Accurate flowmeters reduce the need for manual adjustments and support system efficiency by helping to prevent over- or under-flow in individual loops.

Suitable for

• Residential multi-zone underfloor heating systems
• Small commercial buildings with up to ten heating loops
• New installations and retrofit projects requiring hydraulic balancing
• Systems where independent monitoring and adjustment of each circuit are needed

When it may not be suitable

This manifold is designed specifically for hydronic underfloor heating and is not suitable for electrically heated floors. It may be unnecessary for very small installations with only one or two circuits where a single supply manifold would suffice. For larger systems with more than ten loops, multiple manifolds or a different distribution solution will be required.

Key specifications

• Number of flowmeters/circuits: 10
• Function: distribution and regulation of heated water to multiple loops
• Flow control: individual flowmeters for each circuit to enable balancing and monitoring
• Intended application: hydronic underfloor heating systems
• Typical installation: wall or cabinet mounting within a heating manifold cabinet or service area

How to use

Install the manifold in the designated service area or manifold cabinet, ensuring proper mounting and secure connection to the supply and return pipes. Connect each loop to a separate outlet and adjust the individual flowmeters to achieve the required flow rates for balanced heating. Monitor the flowmeters during system commissioning and during periodic checks to verify consistent operation. Make any necessary adjustments to the flowmeters to adapt to changes in system demand or layout.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the number of circuits (10) matches your system layout and future expansion plans
• Verify compatibility with your boiler/heat source and system operating temperatures
• Plan for mounting location and clearance for connections and servicing
• Consider whether additional components (valves, actuators, balancing valves, manifold cabinet) are required

Usage recommendations

During commissioning, perform step-by-step hydraulic balancing: set target flow for each circuit according to pipe lengths and heat output requirements, then confirm readings on the individual flowmeters. Schedule routine inspections to check for leaks and to confirm flow stability, and use compatible actuators or thermostatic controls if automatic zone regulation is required.
