I am thinking of installing a dual geothermal system with radiant heat in the basement slab and geothermal forced air for the main and 2nd floors.
Radiant should manifolds on 2nd floor.
Most manifolds have flow controls flow meters air vents temperature gauges and drain valves.
It is a centralized location for both supply and return lines.
For the money i think you can t beat this type of heat.
Installation packages and zone manifolds installation packages from radiantec make the work go easier faster and more economically.
5 loop radiant heat manifold 5 zone pex tubing manifolds with compatible outlets for hydronic radiant floor heating 1 2 3 4 pex adapters sold separately 4 1 out of 5 stars 20 149 99 149.
I ve done a little reading on pipe manifolds the flashing bending etc.
Radiant heat manifolds are where the distribution and flow control happens in your heating system.
A metal reflector plate is used to reflect the heat back to the flooring.
These manifolds are suitable for a wide range of installations including radiant heating in concrete slabs subfloor staple up systems in floor thin slab gypsum or panel systems and many others.
Sizing to select a proper size.
8 branch 3 4 inch radiant pex manifold set can be used when the area to be covered is between 1 800 and 2 200 square feet of floor additional models are also available up to a 12 branch manifold set that should be enough to cover an area of 2 500 square feet of floor.
A great heating source.
Radiant in basement forced air main 2nd floor i am planning to build a house in the mountains of western md where ac is needed about 1 month out of the year 0 deg is not uncommon in the winter.
With radiantec installation packages and zone manifolds most of the work is done in the shop under quality controlled circumstances.
Radiant floor heating is an increasingly popular way to heat your home and as a relatively new heating solution we understand that you may have some questions about the fundamentals of this.
