Fixtures of many kinds are required to set up pipes lines to transport liquids,slurries and gases.It is a sort of operating device required where the fluid has to be distributed into many channel.According to the dictionary the exact definition of manifold is:”Manifold is a cylindrical pipe fitting,having a number of lateral outlets,for connecting one pipe with several others.” There are manifolds available in a multitude of variety to suit every plumbing requirement.PEX Manifold spin closed system is the best for radiant heating systems as it has the capacity to endure high and freezing temperature conditions.
PEX manifold spin closed systems are used at home for equitable distribution of hot and cold water through the house.The PEX manifold spin closed system is predominantly in the radiant heating systems where the hot water from the boiler has to travel to all the rooms of the house.The water comes back to the boiler from all the rooms of the house.It is a continuous process.The boiler feeds the rooms with hot water through a manifold where each outlet carries the water to different room.In the same way water is collected through a manifold into a single feeder pipe for the boiler.The pressure in the pipes is adjusted with the help of a pressure gauge.The heat of the water opens the value and lets the hot water out of the boiler and into the rooms thus it creates space for the cold water to flow into the boiler.
The advantage of using the PEX manifold spin closed system is that all the connections are at one place and any damage or leakage can be detected immediately.It comes with a remarkable advantage to shut down partially.Water supply to one room or a part of the house can be shut down without creating inconvenience to the rest of the area.A regulated water supply with the right amount of pressure is assured by the use of a manifold spin closed system.
There is a great variety in the prefabricated PEX manifold spin closed systems for the different sizes of the PEX pipes.The configuration of the manifold can be decided depending on the need.A single manifold with divided compartment for both hot and cold water is also a Pex product worth considering. It is a very light and product and can be fitted anywhere with easy accessibility.
