U/F Heating (& towels rails) to bathrooms

[bobby62]

Looking to install wet u/f heating to 2 bathrooms and 1 ensuite on a separate flow and return with a small manifold in each room. However I would also like to have heated towel rails in the same rooms which I also want to control independently over the main heating system. Is it possible to have each towel rail connected to another port on the u/f heating manifold to allow this, basically I would prefer not to have to run a sep circ for the 3 towel rails.

I would need to be able to disable the u/f heating in the summer though so the towel rails could be on low.

Thanks

ufh runs a lot cooler that a rad

is a point to bear in mind
why not take the feed before the manifold

I could take the feed to each towel rail prior to the manifold, but would this mean that the towel rails would have to be on when the underfloor heating is on?

If you want your towel rails independant with separate control then zone valve them!
It's as simple as that.

Have you considered electric towel radiators?
