Underfloor Heating Wiring Centre Options
Our underfloor heating central wiring switch boxes have been designed to simplify the wiring process for our water underfloor heating systems. Using the Heatmiser UH1, UH2 or UH3 in your underfloor heating systems applications, means that the actuator, boiler and pump connections are wired from a single point. Our underfloor…
Underfloor Heating & Hot Water Control
The UH1 underfloor heating wiring centre also takes care of the hot water control. Controlling the hot water from the UH1 underfloor heating Heatmiser wiring centre makes sense, not only because it simplifies the wiring, but also because it enables you to control your hot water centrally from the Heatmiser…
Underfloor Heating Guidelines
Below we have compiled some useful guidelines to help answer some common questions about the installation of water underfloor heating; Flow Rate To calculate the flow rate for each underfloor heating loop, take the loop length and divide by 40. For example, 100 m loop length/40 = 2.5 l/min flow…
Underfloor Heating Automatic Bypass Valve
Normally the underfloor heating flow rates per underfloor heating water loop is between 1 – 4 l/min. The flow rate for the water underfloor heating system can be regulated on the underfloor heating return manifold. Each loop can be adjusted to suitable settings. ie longer loops would normally be fully…
Flooring Tips For Underfloor Heating
Most floor finishes will work well with underfloor heating. Always check what the maximum surface temperature the floor finish will operate at with the manufacturer of the floor finish. If using wooden boards for underfloor heating, it is best to use engineered boards, one layer 21 mm. Avoid using wood on…
Valsir Underfloor Heating Pipes
Valsir underfloor heating pipes are normally bent without any special tools. When the pipes have been in service and temperature and pressure decrease, the pipe contracts. With an approved fitting range the grip between the pipe and fittings is stronger than the contraction force and does not give any problem…
Underfloor Heating Lockshield Valve
An underfloor heating installation with different pipe loop lenghts and water flow requirements will have different pressure drops for the different loops. In order to achieve an even heat distribution between the rooms in the installation the pressure drop of the different loops must be balanced. In the Underfloor Heating…
Underfloor Heating Water Flow
The water in the underfloor heating system must flow in order to convey heat to the floor. The size of the water flow is determined by the amount of heat to be conveyed and the designed water temperature drop. Depending on the interior of a house, the rooms are of…
Underfloor Heating Loop Patterns
For underfloor heating water there are three main types of underfloor heating loop configurations. The type of configuration depends on the construction techniques and practices in different countries. In general when pipe layout plans are being formulated, attention should be paid to routing the supply flow to the external walls…
Underfloor Heating Reinforcement Mesh Installation Information
The steel reinforcement mesh of the floor structure offers an easy and economic way of fixing the warm water underfloor heating pipes according to the required layout pattern. Maximum distance between fixing points to the mesh is normally 750 mm and at bends 300 mm. Water underfloor heating pipe loops are laid…
