AlumiPex Radiant Tubing

H. Mount Manifold(s)

1.Accurately measure the location of the manifold mounting wall (if not already installed).

•Placement of the manifold and the tube penetrations is critical.

•Take extra care in laying out these locations so all items will be in proper position for the interior framing of the building.

2.Attach the manifold to a plywood panel.

•Size the panel to fit between the finished studs if the panel is to be recess mounted.

•Longer manifolds will require spanning more than one stud spacing.

•For a complete metal cabinet enclosure, use AlumiPex Wall Cabinets.

•See Figure 8 for a typical manifold mounting arrangement.

3.Prepare holes for tube routing.

•Drill 1½” holes through the studs to route tubing to upper floors. See Figure 9 for drilling penetration holes in the rooms above.

•Drill 1½” holes through the sole plate in the manifold stud cavity for penetrations to route tubing to same floor or lower floor heating circuits.

•Route same floor tubing through the joist bays below and then up through holes in each room unless the tubing will be routed through a hallway as in Figure 6. Here, the tubing would be routed to the joist bay below, then up to the proper locations in the hallway to route to the rooms. This method provides a neat installation while allowing ample room for tube bending.

•When drilling the holes for tube penetration into the rooms or hallway, drill the holes at a 45 degree angle to provide the proper minimum bend diameter for the tubing. See Figure 9, Page 14.
