12 x 1.6mm MLC to 15mm copper connection
Hi will be using 12x1.6mm MLC for a project and would like to terminate into a fitting other than an UFH manifold, eg, regular 15mm copper. Can't seem to find a coupler for that - any ideas out there? cheers Andy

16mm prowarm pipe popping out of procrate on bends
Hi All, I’m installing an ufh system using procrate and 16mm ufh pipe. The procrate is laid on top of insulation but I’m finding that at each bend and return the pipe is either pulling out of the procrate or the procrate is lifing up. What am I doing wrong? This is the 3rd system I’ve installed...

Adding UFH as supplementary heating
I have a gas boiler for DHW and single zone heating (S-plan with TRVs on all radiators). Now I'm retired and my circulation isn't as good as it once was, I have problems in the colder months with cold feet - particularly on tiled or engineered wood panel flooring on the ground floor. I have...

Adjusting actutators
Hi all, sorry a very stupid question from a newbie. I think some of my actuators are not closing the valves fully, so there's flow even when the heating is 'off'. Is there a way of checking/adjusting these? Can I just pull them off? Should I instead just tighten the nut at the top (the...

Advice on changing my thermostat
I have a Neura heat pump and my thermostat has failed (Theben RAM 797 b). I'm looking to replace it with another more modern one I can use with an app etc. My question is, can I replace it with any thermostat or do I require a very specific type thermostat to run the heat pump? Thanks for...

Advice on low-profile UFH system in ex-council flat.
Hello all. First time posting so apologies if this is answered elsewhere. I am close to completing a purchase of my first flat, an ex-council place from the 1960s built in the usual concrete slab and brick. At present there is some ghastly pipe work for the radiators sprawling round every...

Anybody drilled through a floor with UFH before?

Asking for opinion about flow meter concerto
I'm the homeowner of a heat pump + UFH installation, 2 floors with 1 manifold on each floor and a common pump. On both floors each circuit has the same problem: whenever a zone asks for heat and the motorized valve opens there is a some loud knocking going on (see video). In the case of the...

Backer / Cement board for low level UFH
Hi. We have recently bought the ground floor of a Victorian house, about 100 m2. The floors are all laid to very solid floor boards and the ceilings are 3m high. I've had some quotes from a couple of UFH firms, one says they'll lay their product directly onto the exisiting floor boards and the...

Boiler ignoring the programmer
Hello I have an oil fired Worcester regular boiler which suddenly has a mind of its own. Programmer totally off but the boiler is firing up. I’ve noticed that the valve doesn’t move when I turn on the programmer and click the thermostat to on. Should it? The DHW valve doesn’t have a visible...

Calculating pipe centres
Similar to radiator dT's, is there a way to mathematically calculate the UFH pipe centres required to satisfy a given room's heat demands? 150mm-250mm centres are banded about online, with no real explanation, obviously smaller centres allow for lower water temps, but there must be a more...

Can this type of system be used for cooling too?
Hi all, I hope you're keeping well in this madness! I wanted to ask a (probably stupid) question. I live in an apartment with underfloor heating, I've pictured what I can of it as I'm sure that'll make more sense than me trying to describe it. During summer, I rely on a mobile aircon unit and...

Choosing UFH pipe for screed
Hello I'm looking at the different pipes for UFH, the prices vary a lot and I'm not sure about the differences between the products. I'm doing two zones, one 127m the other 70m, both will be under screed. JG barrier pipe will cost £400 but Pert-Evoh-Pert is only £170. Both say they are 15mm...
