SWL through the end switch of the zone valve is the norm.Ok i thought the actuators provided effective open close mechanisms for the zones, are you saying that the for the SL for the boiler should be wired in series via the 2 port valve?
How can that manifold not provide interlock? Interlock is easily provided by the room thermostats that will be used for each zone. Zone valves are used to separate systems when required. If you have a fully pumped/system boiler then yes a zone valve is required to separate the heating and hot water circuits but if you don't require your ufh to be separated from your radiator circuit then a zone valve isn't required.The manifold controls the temperature of the water & the rooms but what it can't normally do is provide an "interlock" with the boiler which is required by Part L of the Building Regulations.
Effectively what this means is that when the last power head on the manifold closes there must be a mechanism that turns the
Is it a combi or fully pumped system?There is no radiators purely underfloor heating 6 zone each with a programmable stat
I understand that heating and hot water should be on different zones and to split heating up, the issue was that I thought the UF heating manifolds zone actuators would provide this, and to just have one 2 port valve for the hot water, however i managed to incorparte the heating 2 port valve into the set up, (originally I was going to just leave it manually open) the wiring centre for the manifold had a switched 230v output which I used to drive the valve motor, wired the valve output in parallel with the HW valve output and boiler volt free contacts.You need another zone valve fitted with a electric boiler you want as much control as possible I just did one with 3 circuits HW - HTG ZONE 1 - HTG ZONE 2 with a electric boiler not finished yet but you get the idea
