OldSpot Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 I'm trying to figure out if I'm being daft or not! Can I use one pump with two UFH manifolds? When I say pump I mean the pump which is attached to the manifold not the CH circulating pump. My reckoning is that if a pump is powerful enough to run for example, a 10 port manifold shouldn't it be also be capable of running two 5 port manifolds? My set up would be to have a pump pack attached to a 5 port, T-off after the pump pack/mix valve with 22mm pipe to feed a 3 port manifold about 3.5 metres away. LoopCad suggests those three loops need a total flow of about 3.5l/min but I don't have the drawing to hand. I could run the six 16mm UFH pipes to the area where the 3 port would go but it would simplify the design and layout if I didn't have to.
Nickfromwales Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Yes, that will work just fine. I’ve done that in small under stairs cupboards where a 22-port manifold needed to be 6+6 going around a corner. If you go for a Komfort manifold the you’ll be able to come out of the end with 1”x 22mm brass fittings and use copper 22mm ( for a full bore link ) or 28mm Hep2o if you want to use plastic.
