WIGELL Floor Heating Manifold, 14 circuits, brass + manual air vent

Product detailed description

The manifold for floor heating is the main component for evenly distributing heat in floor heating systems. Manifold variants include different numbers of circuits, usually from 2 to 18, and are compatible with floor heating pipes with diameters of 16–20 mm.

Wigell manifolds can be mounted directly on the wall or, using the supplied brackets, into a manifold cabinet. The mounting position is arbitrary. Using compression fittings, you can connect PeX-AL-PeX or Pe-rt pipes to this manifold.

Product parameters

• Permissible fluid temperatures: -10 °C to 120 °C
• Max. working pressure: 4 - 6 bar
• Max. test pressure: 10 bar
• Measuring range: 0-5 l/min
• Flow rate: 1.12 m³/h
• Inlet and outlet connection: 1"
• Flow meters: dual-control, lockable

Advantages of Wigell manifolds

• Every manifold undergoes a pressure test, which ensures its reliability and long service life.
• You can choose either a manual or automatic air vent.
• The cabinet size is precisely determined for the given number of circuits and fits perfectly.
• Control valves can be chosen in two variants with thermometer preparation, either angled or straight.
• The manifold is fitted with control valves, flow meters and air vents.

This manifold assembly consists of

Heating water body:

• flow meters ending with a nipple and a PEX 3/4 x 16 type coupling
• an air vent and drain unit with a key-operated air vent (an automatic air vent can also be used)

Return water body:

• thermostatic valves M30 x 1.5 - allow installation of thermal actuators
• nipples with installed PEX 3/4 x 16 type couplings
• an air vent and drain unit with a key-operated air vent

Flow meter:

It is used to set the flow rate of heating water in l/min and thus to balance the pressure differences of individual heating circuits. Depending on the direction you turn the lower part of the flow meter, you decrease or increase the flow of heating water, or shut it off completely. On the transparent part of the flow meter, the water level shows the water flow in l/min. Max. operating pressure is 1 MPa.

Thermostatic valve:

Thermostatic valve inserts with manual heads are used to shut off individual heating circuits. These manual heads do not allow individual branches to be regulated. The manual heads can be removed and replaced with electric actuators.

Air vent and drain unit:

It is used to vent the heating system. The air vent valve of this unit is manual (key-operated), and can be replaced with an automatic air vent valve.

What else to buy with the air vent?

Additional accessories are needed for correct connection. Below, choose the connection components that are fully compatible with this manifold:

• Recessed and surface-mounted cabinets
• Mixing sets (WILO pump + ESBE valve) - for variants without an already built-in pump
• Ball valves when connecting without a circulation pump
• Compression fittings

When laying the pipes, we also recommend purchasing:

• Floor heating pipes
• Floor heating foils
• Clips for fastening the floor pipes
• Staplers and dispensers
• Expansion tapes for the wall

Packaging and delivery method

We will deliver the product to you by standard parcel shipping and it will be packaged so that it is not damaged during transport. The actual method of packaging depends on the number of pieces ordered and other items in the order. A single manifold will most often be packed in a cardboard box and stretch film.
