“Offering a radiant system manifold in an advanced engineered plastic material allows us to provide our customers with three important benefits that are key to building professionals: quality, performance and cost savings,” says Mark Hudoba, senior product manager, Heating and Cooling, at Uponor.

The EP Heating Manifold is available in 2 through 8 loops and accommodates 15.4 gallons per minute (gpm). Single loops are also available for purchase to extend the service up to 12 loops total.
