Imagine 6 supply connections and 6 return connections on one manifold<\/span> and you’ll get the idea. Super large zones<\/span> will often use multiple manifolds spread throughout the heated space to achieve coverage.(Slab manifolds should do more than split one supply and one return into multiple branches. An important component of our slab manifolds is the pressure-testing feature. Testing for leaks prior to pouring a slab is mandatory. Also, the box containing our manifold<\/span> acts as the form around which you pour the concrete<\/span>. This creates a “manifold<\/span> well” in the finished slab and keeps the multiple connections below floor level. Everything remains visible and accessible, but only the supply and return pipes stick up above the slab.
