Selecting the right system
This guide is intended for competent trained plumbing and

Navigating the Technical
Installation Guide
Having read the general introductory sections at the front
of the guide, ensure that you have selected the correct system
for your floor type and project. Read the guide to floor coverings
to ensure that your system is compatible with your floor type.
Next, choose your selected under floor heating system type from
the section "Installing the system" and follow the step by step
instructions. Everything should be straightforward but remember
that the Polypipe Technical Support team is always ready to help
answer any questions you may have.
Whichever Polypipe under floor heating system you are installing

"Connecting and controlling the system". This section provides
all you need to know about manifolds and controls, connecting
your system to an appropriate heat source and commissioning
the system.
