When it comes to efficient underfloor heating, the location of your manifold installation is crucial because it has a big influence on the way the system operates. In this video, we discuss some of the benefits of a properly placed heating manifold.
The manifold location doesn’t necessarily have to be as close as possible to the heat source. This is quite a common piece of advice you’ll hear but there’s actually more to it than that.
Rather than simply placing the manifold in close proximity to the heat source, it’s typically better to place it as centrally as possible. When your manifold installation is in a central location, it has several benefits that result in overall more efficient underfloor heating.
You see, when you place the manifold in a central location, you can avoid long runs. When you have less need for piping, you end up saving money. You’ll also be able to achieve more efficiency because there will be less volume of pipe and less need for extra insulation.
Hopefully this video helps you see just how important it is to think about location before doing a manifold installation. Keep these tips in mind to ensure you give yourself a more efficient underfloor heating system.

If it is a pressurised system, installing a manifold higher than the system will have no massive effect. The only consideration is the extra 5 metres of pipe required to go from ceiling to floor.
