Hi all,

I found there is some pressure drops in a few days in my heating system and finally found there are some water leak from the joint from the UFH manifold joint to the flow pipe. The case only can be found only after the UFH turns off at night, i.e. when the water in manifold change from hot to cold. I am thinking to disconnect it and connect it again to check the rubber ring. I found that I have to do some depressure before and refill after the repair work through the flow and return drain on the right handside. I have some questions:

1. Is it most likely relate to the rubber ring problem in the joint ? Any other spare parts I need to buy in advanced for the repair ?
2. I found that the auto air vent is only in the return pipe in lower part , see if it is ok ? I found most of the online manifold picture shows the air vent should be found at both flow and return pipe or at the upper part. Should I swap the air vent with the pressure meter ?

thank you
