Floorwarmers Manifold Ball Valve Pair

Floorwarmers Manifold Ball Valve Pair is a reliable and versatile solution for controlling the flow of water in your heating system. This set includes two 1 inch ball valves, each nickel plated for enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion.

Designed to work seamlessly with most manifolds, these ball valves are the perfect choice for your Floorwarmers manifold. The set comes in a convenient red and blue pair, allowing for easy identification and differentiation between the flow and return pipes.

With their robust construction and high-quality materials, these ball valves ensure long-lasting performance and reliable operation. The nickel plating adds an extra layer of protection, extending the lifespan of the valves and maintaining their smooth functionality over time.

The ball valves feature a quarter-turn handle, allowing for quick and effortless control of the water flow. When the handle is parallel to the pipe, the valve is fully open, enabling maximum flow. Conversely, when the handle is perpendicular to the pipe, the valve is fully closed, completely stopping the flow of water.

Installing the Manifold Ball Valve Pair is a straightforward process. Simply connect the valves to the corresponding flow and return pipes of your manifold using the appropriate fittings. The standard 1 inch size ensures compatibility with common plumbing systems and simplifies installation.

By incorporating ball valves into your heating system, you gain greater control and flexibility. These valves enable you to isolate specific circuits or components, making maintenance and repairs more convenient. They also allow for efficient system flushing and balancing, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency.

Whether you're installing a new heating system or upgrading an existing one, the Manifold Ball Valve Pair is a reliable choice. Experience the convenience, versatility, and peace of mind that comes with having full control over your heating system water flow.

Specifications

High-Quality Construction

• 
  ProWarm Electric Underfloor Heating Sticky Mat: Utilizes the same premium cable as the ProWarm Loose Cable kit. The mat incorporates a sticky fibreglass mesh to ensure optimal heat output by maintaining proper cable spacing. Installation is straightforward—simply roll out the mat to cover the desired heating area.
• 
  Heating Cable: Series-type with twin conductors and a 4m cold lead at one end.
• 
  Cable Composition: The resistance heating wire is encased in a fluoropolymer insulation layer, wrapped in protective metal shielding, and enclosed in a final plastic outer sheath. The twin conductor cable has a final diameter of 2mm.
• 
  Junction Design: Unique design for hot and cold lead junctions ensures they are 100% foolproof.

Installation

Please Note: This is a brief guide. Always refer to the full installation manual for comprehensive instructions.

1. Plan Your Layout:

• Divide the floor into a series of rectangles. Use these measurements to calculate the number and sizes of mats needed, excluding permanent or static fixtures from your calculations.

2. Prepare the Subfloor:

• For screed over concrete floors, lay insulation boards to minimize heat loss and ensure quicker warm-up times.

3. Lay the Heating Mat:

• Start with the first run of the mat. Cut the mat (leaving the cable intact) at the end of each run, turn it 90° or 180°, and continue laying.
• Once the area is covered, adjust the mat so that the loops are evenly spaced.
• Secure the mat to the subfloor using the special tape provided.

4. Electrical Connections:

• Install an RCD fused spur to power the thermostatic controller/programmer and the mat system.
• Lay the temperature probe from the timer-thermostat onto the floor, position it equidistant between two cable loops, and secure it to the surface.
• Position the unheated power supply cable from the end of the mat system near the thermostat.
• Make all necessary connections to the power supply. Run the heaters for no more than 10 minutes to ensure they are heating up properly.

5. Finish the Flooring:

• Option 1: Apply a thin, self-levelling screed over the mat and allow it to dry completely before laying tiles.
• Option 2: Directly trowel flexible tile adhesive over the mat and lay the floor tiles.
• After grouting, let the tile adhesive cure fully before switching on the system.
