Manifold

Manifold Manufacturer & Supplier in China

As a factory-direct manifold manufacturer and supplier in China, we produce brass and 304 stainless steel underfloor heating manifolds in three series — standard HPb 59-1 brass, nickel-plated brass and stainless steel — at our own facility in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province. With in-house CNC machining, dedicated assembly lines, and pressure and leak testing on every unit, we supply OEM manifold builders, underfloor heating system integrators and HVAC distributors in 90+ countries with consistent, reliable distribution components.

When you source manifolds from Legom, you specify distribution units rated to a 16 bar maximum working pressure and a 110°C working temperature, with 1″ female main connections and 3/4″ male Eurocone branch outlets that connect directly to 20×2.0mm and 16×2.0mm floor heating pipe.

01 Product Range

We manufacture brass and stainless steel manifolds for underfloor heating and hydronic distribution systems in three series: standard HPb 59-1 brass, nickel-plated brass and 304 stainless steel. Each manifold distributes heated water from a single supply into individually controllable branch circuits, with 3/4″ Eurocone outlets that connect directly to floor heating pipe and branch valves that accept thermal actuators for zone control. All series are rated to 16 bar and 110°C, and available for OEM and ODM customization.

02 How to Select the Right Manifold

Choosing the correct manifold comes down to your material and finish preference, the number of zones and flow your system needs, and your pipe and actuator compatibility:

1
Material & Finish

Choose standard HPb 59-1 brass for a proven, cost-effective option in concealed cabinets. Choose nickel-plated brass where the manifold is visible and a bright, corrosion-resistant finish matters. Choose 304 stainless steel for lead-free, hygiene-sensitive systems and the highest corrosion resistance.

2
Number of Zones & Flow

The brass series covers 2 to 9 ports with 12 Kv main flow; the stainless steel series extends to 12 ports with a higher 20 Kv main flow, supporting larger houses and light commercial buildings.

3
Pipe & Actuator Compatibility

All series use 1″ female main connections and 3/4″ male Eurocone branch outlets for 20x2.0mm and 16x2.0mm pipe. The branch valves accept thermal actuators — confirm pipe size and actuator type when ordering.

04 Production Process

  1. Material Intake — HPb 59-1 brass bar or 304 stainless steel inspected for grade and dimension.
  2. CNC Machining — Manifold body, main connections and branch ports precision-machined to tolerance.
  3. Component Assembly — Branch valves, flow paths and seals assembled into the manifold body.
  4. Surface Treatment — Brass polished and finished with baking paint or nickel plating; stainless passivated for the chromium-rich oxide film.
  5. Eurocone & Seal Fitting — 3/4″ Eurocone outlets and seals fitted and torque-checked on each branch.
  6. Pressure and Leak Testing — Each manifold pressure-tested to confirm leak-free operation.
  7. Final QC & Packaging — Dimensions, finish and flow verified before packaging for export.

06 Applications

Underfloor heating distribution — the primary application: splits supply and return water into individual floor loops, each controlled separately for room-by-room temperature management.
Multi-zone residential heating — the 2 to 12 branch range covers everything from a small apartment to a large multi-room house, with one branch per zone.
Commercial hydronic systems — the stainless steel series, with its higher 20 Kv flow and corrosion resistance, suits light commercial distribution.
Heat pump & boiler systems — connects a heat pump or condensing boiler to multiple low-temperature floor loops, distributing flow evenly from a single supply and return point.
Radiant wall & ceiling heating — distributes water to radiant panel circuits where independent zone control and balanced flow are design requirements.
Renovation & retrofit projects — the compact 50mm branch spacing and standard Eurocone connections fit into existing manifold cabinets during refurbishment.

07 FAQ

What types of manifold does Legom manufacture?

Three series: standard HPb 59-1 brass, nickel-plated brass and 304 stainless steel. All are produced in-house, rated to 16 bar and 110°C, with 3/4″ Eurocone branch outlets and branch valves that accept thermal actuators.

Should I choose a brass or a stainless steel manifold?

Both perform well. Brass is cost-effective for standard residential systems (2 to 9 branches). Stainless steel is lead-free with the highest corrosion resistance, higher 20 Kv main flow and a wider 2 to 12 branch range for larger, higher-capacity or hygiene-sensitive systems.

What is HPb 59-1 brass?

A lead brass alloy known for excellent machinability and high mechanical strength, well suited to precision-machined manifold bodies that hold pressure and accept threaded connections. Widely used in plumbing and heating components.

What is the benefit of the nickel-plated finish?

Nickel plating adds a hard, bright protective layer over the polished brass body, improving corrosion resistance and giving a clean, durable, easy-to-wipe surface. Ideal for visible manifold cabinets.

What is 304 stainless steel and the chromium-rich oxide film?

304 is an austenitic stainless steel combining high strength, outstanding corrosion resistance and a hygienic, lead-free surface. It naturally forms a self-repairing passive chromium-rich oxide film that reforms if scratched.

How many branches are available?

Brass and nickel-plated brass series are available in 2 to 9 branches; the stainless steel series in 2 to 12. Branches are spaced 50mm apart, so body length increases by 50mm per branch.

What does the connection spec F1″ * M3/4″ mean?

The main supply and return connections are 1″ female (F1″), and the branch outlets feeding each floor loop are 3/4″ male (M3/4″). The 3/4″ outlets use the Eurocone standard, connecting to floor heating pipe through standard compression unions.

Which pipe sizes connect to the Eurocone outlets?

The 3/4″ Eurocone outlets accept 20x2.0mm and 16x2.0mm pipe (outer diameter x wall thickness), making the manifolds compatible with standard floor heating pipe in those sizes.

Can I fit thermal actuators to these manifolds?

Yes. The branch valve heads accept thermal actuators, which open and close each loop in response to a room thermostat for automatic zone control. The 50mm branch spacing leaves clearance for each actuator.

Does Legom offer OEM and ODM manifolds?

Yes, including customization of material, branch count, body length, connection threads and surface finish, all under strict confidentiality.

Are you a manufacturer or a trader?

We are a manufacturer. Manifolds are produced at our own facility in Jiaxing with in-house CNC machining, assembly, surface treatment and pressure testing.
