Do’s & Don’ts Ensure the WHS-M-S3-XX manifold is mounted to a structurally sound wall capable of bearing the load imposed by the manifold. Precautions should be taken to reduce the risk of damaging any services within the walls when drilling. Keep the area clean and clear, reducing the risk of foreign bodies entering the system.
Dimensions °F °C • The Warmup WHS-M-S3-XX manifolds are available in various configurations ranging from 2 ports through to 12 ports. • The manifolds are delivered pre-assembled in the mounting brackets with flow gauges, drain/fill valves, air vents, end caps and dual master gauge.

Dimensions • The manifold can either be used as a standalone setup, or can be adapted with a Warmup WHS-M-S3-MIX mixing unit providing regulated temperature control enabling tailored system performance. Width/No. of Ports NOTE: All measurements are in millimetres (mm) unless otherwise...
Step 1 - Location Considerations Identify a suitable mounting location for the Warmup Manifold. The location should meet the following requirements; • The surface on to which it is to be mounted should be: • Structurally sound and capable of bearing the load imposed by the manifold •...
Step 2 - Assembly - Mixing Unit The Warmup WHS-M-S3-MIX Mixing Unit is required for all installations where the temperature of the water provided by the heat source exceeds the design water temperature of the floor heating system. This includes all heat sources which intermittently ‘over heat’ due to sterilisation cycles or uncontrolled heating.
Page 14
Adding the Warmup WHS-M-S3-VALVES kit allows for the manifold system to be easily isolated from the primary pipework/heat source. Warmup recommends a minimum of 22mm for the primary pipework. NOTE: Loose nut fittings only required if connecting primary pipework directly to manifold.
Page 16
Step 2 - Assembly - Primary Pipework It is recommended the supply connections to the manifold are direct from the primary heating circuit, prior to any zone valves or control by other emitters or devices. Interlock should be established between the underfloor heating and the heat source.
Page 17
Step 2 - Assembly - Secondary Pipework When preparing the pipework for connection to the manifold the end of the pipe must be cut cleanly with a suitable pipe cutter, and all swarf removed, to ensure a tight seal against the spigot is maintained. All circuit lengths should be recorded as accurately in the commissioning log on page 36 as possible to ensure correct commissioning of the system.
Step 3 - Circuit Purging & Filling °F °C It is important that the manifold and connected circuits are purged prior to calibrating the system, to remove any air left in the pipework following install. The caps fitted to the fill/drain valves functions as a key to open and close both the valves and the manual air vents.

Step 4 - Pressure Testing The pressure test must be completed while the pipes are fully accessible and before any screed or floor deck has been laid. The pressure test is an important step to prove the integrity of the system, ensuring nothing has been damaged during the install.

Determining your flow-meter settings If your system has been designed by the Warmup Projects Division, the required flow-rates will be specified on the Working Drawings used to install the system. In the absence of a design, the table below provides ‘typical’ flow rates, based on using a common floor construction with consistent loading throughout.
