The Commercial Radiant Stainless-Steel Manifold from Uponor has been named a finalist in Contractor Magazine's 2023 Products of the Year, placing No. 7. This recognition highlights Uponor's commitment to sustainable advancements that push the boundaries of hydronic distribution. 

Double the Flow, Double the Capability 

Uponor's innovative design boasts more than double the flow rate of standard manifolds, reaching a remarkable 48 gallons per minute (gpm) total. This enhanced capacity caters to the demanding needs of large-scale commercial applications, including: 

  • Hydronic distribution: Efficiently manage water flow throughout buildings.
  • Radiant heating and cooling: Provide optimal comfort for occupants in all seasons.
  • Snow and ice melting: Ensure safety and accessibility in harsh winter conditions.
  • Permafrost prevention (cold storage): Protect sensitive infrastructure in freezing environments.
  • Radiant Rollout Mat systems: Simplify radiant heating installation. 

Precise Control for Every Loop 

The manifold features: 

  • Up to 4 gpm flow meters: Monitor individual loop performance with precision.
  • 1 ½-inch distribution ball valves: Regulate water flow to each zone effortlessly.
  • 1-inch loop isolation ball valves: Isolate loops for maintenance without affecting pump pressure. 

These components minimize pressure drops, ensuring consistent and efficient operation throughout the system. 

Flexibility for Every Project 

Available in loop configurations of 3-8, 10, and 12, the manifold offers the flexibility to adapt to any project size and requirement. Additionally, R25 connections provide compatibility with a range of outlet fittings, including 5/8-inch, ¾-inch, and 1-inch ProPEX (sold separately).
