    A few people (Shevek amongst them) put up their plumbing schematics a while back. The pdfs' don't seem to be downloadable anymore (is this a forum change problem?) - can you repost?

    plumbing-schematic.pdf and plumbing-schematic.zip are fine for me but plumbing-schematic2.zip looks like a zip [Edit: originally had 'PDF' there - typo] but doesn't seem to work:

    $ file plumbing-schematic2.zip

    Should say 'mixed down', the temperature of water in UFH pipes should be a lot lower than in the system, be really the manifold has a secondary pump and uses a bypass to add mix UFH return with new hot to give low flow temperature supplying the floor radiant heating system.

    Isn't there a building regs requirement to have an 'anti-scald valve' (effectively a thermostatic mixer) on the hot supply to the bath? I'm wondering how to address that with a manifold system.

    :bigsmile: must be an issue with the forum software.

    Ah yes, I think you're right, although not sure if it applies to a refurb. I'll check it out tomorrow. All our new build schemes at work are fitted with a thermostatic bath mixer.
