Have a look at page 2 of this document:
http://www.alderkey.co.uk/literature/Continental UFH Ltd - Construction Guide r200103.pdf
It's a picture of a "Continental" underfloor heating manifold.
But I can't figure out how it is supposed to work.
I thought that underfloor heating gear was supposed to do 2 things:
1. Pump the water around the underfloor heating loop(s).
2. Variably blend hot water flow from the boiler with returned water from the underfloor loop to keep the water in the underfloor loop at the desired temperature.
But I can't figure out how this thing would do that. It seems to have far too many plain Tee joints (three of them) to be able to any kind of proper controlling of any water flow.
