24940, Radiant Heating Manifold, 13-PortThe SharkBite Radiant Heating Manifold is designed to optimally distribute fluid throughout circuits in a closed loop heating system. The manifold ensures that flow to each circuit is precisely regulated and also controls the shut-off, displays temperature, and allows for the removal of air from the system. The fluid is heated by a water heater or boiler and distributed by the manifold throughout the different PEX Pipe circuits. The manifold has a 1" FNPT Inlet and features integrated ½" SharkBite connections on the loop ports. The SharkBite connections make connecting the loops to the manifold significantly easier and faster than alternative connection methods. Installing underfloor heating with the SharkBite Radiant Heating Manifold along with SharkBite Oxygen Barrier PEX Pipe saves energy and money. The system achieves maximum energy efficiency with low temperature water that heats specific flood spaces to 87.5°F or below, ultimately conserving up to 15-20% in heating energy costs. Using the SharkBite Radiant Heating Manifold and Oxygen Barrier PEX Pipe also helps keeps the transfer of dust, pollen, germs, and other particles to a minimum which creates a cleaner, healthier, and allergy-free environment.Features:Integrated SharkBite connections: Reduce installation time and frustration, no fitting assembly required.Temperature gauges on supply and return manifolds: Ensure proper supply temperature and evaluate heat loss at the return manifold.Flow balancing valves and flow meters: Avoid any unnecessary waste and ensure an elevated level of thermal comfort.Integrated air vent and drain: No need for additional manifold components.Complete metal brackets with slim depth profile: Maximum installation flexibility for designers and installers.
