manifold selection

Selection Process

The following information is required to select a manifold pack:

  • Inlet water temperature (eg: 15°C average coastal cold water temperature)
  • Temperature required at point of use (eg: 40°C for a shower)
    Therefore net temperature rise is known (eg: 40-15 = 25°C)
  • Simultaneous flow rate required (eg: 5 x 3 star (AAA) 9 l/min showers = 45 l/min)
  • Internal or External installation

Note: Coastal locations used in Summer can achieve tropical flow rates as ambient water temperature can be 20˚C or higher.
