What’s Included in the Underfloor Heating 2-12 Port Manifold Kit
Each underfloor heating manifold kit includes carefully selected components to support reliable system performance and straightforward installation.
2-12 Port Brass/Nickel Manifold with Flow Meters
At the heart of the system sits a brass/nickel manifold, built for strength and corrosion resistance. In addition, integrated flow meters allow accurate balancing of each heating loop. This helps deliver even heat output across the property while also improving overall system efficiency.
A built-in pressure gauge and automatic air vent support stable operation. Therefore, the system releases trapped air effectively, which improves reliability and reduces maintenance over time.
Ball Valves
This kit includes ball valves, with options available to suit different installation requirements. You can easily isolate the manifold during servicing, which makes maintenance faster and far less disruptive. Consequently, downtime is kept to a minimum.
Pump Station with Blending Valve
The integrated pump station with blending valve controls water temperature to safe underfloor heating levels. By blending hot and cooler return water, it protects floor finishes while also improving comfort. As a result, the system maintains efficient operation and consistent room temperatures.
Circulating Pump
This Grundfos UPM3 Flex AS is simply the best on the market. Therefore, the system achieves efficient circulation without unnecessary energy consumption.
Eurocones
When purchasing, you can choose from our full eurocone selection, all compatible with a wide range of pipe sizes. This flexibility allows quick connection to most underfloor heating pipes. In turn, installation time is reduced, and compatibility issues are avoided.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an underfloor heating manifold with pump?
An underfloor heating manifold with pump is the central control unit of a wet underfloor heating system. It distributes warm water evenly to each heating circuit while the circulating pump maintains a consistent flow throughout the system. The integrated mixing valve also helps ensure the correct water temperature reaches your underfloor heating pipe.
Why do I need a pump on an underfloor heating manifold?
The pump circulates heated water through the underfloor heating loops, helping maintain even heat distribution across the floor. Without a correctly sized pump, water may not flow efficiently through every circuit, reducing system performance.
What is included in a manifold with pump set?
Most manifold pump sets include a manifold, circulating pump, thermostatic mixing valve, flow meters, isolation valves, automatic air vents, drain and filling valves, temperature gauges and manifold brackets. Always check the individual product description for the exact contents supplied.
How many ports do I need on my manifold?
The number of ports depends on the number of underfloor heating circuits in your system, not simply the number of rooms. Smaller installations may only require two or three ports, while larger homes can require eight, ten or even twelve ports. If you’re unsure, our technical team can help specify the correct manifold.
Can this manifold be used with a heat pump?
Yes. Many underfloor heating manifold kits are suitable for use with air source and ground source heat pumps. However, the overall heating system should always be designed to operate at the correct flow temperatures for the heat source being used.
Can I connect radiators and underfloor heating to the same boiler?
Yes. Many properties use both radiators and water underfloor heating on the same boiler. The manifold mixing valve helps reduce the water temperature supplied to the underfloor heating circuits while allowing radiators to operate at higher temperatures where required.
What flow temperature should underfloor heating use?
Most water underfloor heating systems operate with flow temperatures between 35°C and 55°C, depending on the floor construction, pipe spacing and heat source. Lower temperatures are common when using air source or ground source heat pumps.
Are the flow meters adjustable?
Yes. Each flow meter can be adjusted individually to balance the flow of water through every heating circuit. Correct balancing helps achieve even heat distribution throughout the property.
Can I install an underfloor heating manifold myself?
A competent installer can physically install the manifold. However, the complete heating system should be designed, pressure tested and commissioned correctly to ensure safe and efficient operation. If you’re unsure, we recommend using a qualified heating engineer.
Where should an underfloor heating manifold be installed?
The manifold should be positioned in a central location whenever possible to minimise pipe runs. Common installation locations include utility rooms, plant rooms, airing cupboards and dedicated manifold cabinets.
What pipe can I use with this manifold?
Most underfloor heating manifolds are compatible with standard 16mm multilayer (MLCP) or PERT underfloor heating pipe using Eurocone connections. Always check the product specification to confirm compatibility before installation.
Do I need actuators on my manifold?
If you’re using individual room thermostats and multiple heating zones, thermal actuators are normally fitted to the return manifold. These allow each room to be controlled independently for improved comfort and energy efficiency.
