manifold setup
« on: November 21, 2013, 07:23:09 PM »
I just recently installed 1"1/4 thermopex and a new Mr Pex manifold.  With the manifold I have 5 circuits feeding baseboard rads, heat HX in the furnace duct and the hot water tank.  My question is should I setup the manifold circuits so that all runs have the same flow rate, or should I set up the runs to all have the same return temp.

All of my circuits have their own flow rate to adjust for what heat each one needs, some need to be wide open some do not. They share a common return to the plate exchanger.
