Radiant heating component install

With the water tank in place, the pipe and manifold in the basement slab connected and the pump board mounted, we are ready to fill the system and test the in floor heat. With the insulation below the concrete we believe the slab should warm quickly and be extremely comfortable for the occupants.
This is the plan provided by the plumbing wholesaler.  This modular system has been used many times in the past and has proven to be extremely low maintenance

The bulk of the work for the plumber to do is mount the panel and make the copper connections to the tank and other components such as air separator and various valves and fittings

The manifold contains a thermometer to determine water temperature entering the slab and has a mixing valve for each loop to adjust it for occupant comfort.
