Hello, I think this may be quite a basic question, so I apologise in advance!
We are planning UFH in part of our space - this will be three circuits.
In the rest of the space (bedrooms), we plan to have radiant wall heating via two circuits. This is done via water pipes built into panels on the walls. So similar concept to UFH, but through the walls rather than the floor.
I believe we can have one five port manifold that the three UFH circuits and two radiant wall circuits all connect to?
But I am not sure how they are then controlled. I believe we could have one thermostat located in a central place that then controls the heating for all five circuits, OR we could have two thermostats, one that controls the three UFH circuits, and one for the two radiant wall circuits. Is that correct?
Can anyone then explain exactly *how* the thermostats are connected. Are they connected to the manifold, or the boiler? I don't quite understand how they all work together. Also, I assume the thermostats are wired to the manifold or boiler so they can 'talk' to it? (note: we try and limit/turn off Wi-Fi/Bluetooth at night, so we wouldn't want a wireless connection).
So we'd need to quite early plan for where the thermostats will be placed and prepare for those wires well ahead of drylining? Is there anything else we need to know about this connection?
Thanks!
