UFH Manifold position

[sa321]

Doing a new installation and wondering if I can position manifold below the UFH loops level?

I don't see a problem with that.

how would I get rid of the air if it gets in the loops. will it be caught by automatic airvents?

 

[Howsie]

You'll push it through.

You would need to get the main on it to push the air out. Its a pain in the neck if you need to drain down and refill the system. Expect a call back if you fit the manifold below the circuit.

If you get all the air out you won't have any problems

Not a problem with siting it below the loops, very common on houses with First Floor UFH. Just purge each loop as normal, isolate & do the next one etc. I've never had a problem & done loads of houses with FF UFH.:yesnod:
