Itap pre-assembled manifolds, maximum freedom of choice for designers and installation technicians
Itap pre-assembled manifolds can be housed in 90mm-deep metal boxes and used in traditional radiator systems or under-floor radiant systems.
ITAP SpA pre-assembled manifolds are used to distribute heat-transfer fluid inside a system. They can be used in traditional radiator systems, and innovative under-floor radiant systems.
As ITAP SpA manifolds are made with stainless steel, they are particularly suitable for heating systems. If used in cooling systems, they must be suitably insulated to avoid the formation of condensation on their outer surface.
The use of ITAP SpA manifolds also allows all of the project parameters to be controlled, providing the perfect balance of each outlet. This avoids any unnecessary waste and ensures an elevated level of thermal comfort. In the complete version, the manifolds are equipped with flow rate regulation valves (flow meters), with preset cut-off valves set-up for electro-thermal actuator-control and with drain and air vent units.
As an alternative to flow meters, it is possible to request the installation of regulation lockshields. Thanks to their increased cross-section, the bars that comprise the flow and return manifolds allow elevated flow rate values to be obtained. If necessary, a differential by-pass can be installed between the flow and return manifolds: this reduces any overpressure in the circuits to a minimum, protecting the service life of all of the parts and avoiding bothersome noises in the rooms where the heating system is installed.
ITAP SpA manifolds, available with 1” main connections, can be housed in 90mm-deep metal boxes. This provides an extremely significant advantage: boxes having a similar depth can be positioned not only in the perimeter walls of the building, but also in the inside dividing walls.
This translates into maximum freedom of choice for designers and installation technicians.
