Leaky Flow Meter (Sight Glass) UFH - 2nd one in a year - is it common?

Featured Replies

Hi, is it common for Flow Meters on UFH manifolds to develop leaks in the sight glass? It looks like a small pin size hole in the top as the drip forms at the top and runs down. This will be the second one in a year. As my manifold is above a Heatmiser Wiring Centre, looks like the water has run down in to that box and tripped the fuse.

Hi.

Which manifold do you have? Not very good failure rate at all!! I have UFH manifolds that I fitted for clients which are coming up to their 20th year anniversary's and zero issue / failure / complaint.
