Onix Tubing Submittal

OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE
Watts Radiant Onix Manifolds are manufactured in several styles for
radiant floor heating and snowmelting applications: Custom Tubular,
Swedged, CustomCut™, Stainless Steel, and CazzBrass™. Manifolds
are constructed of either copper, cast brass, or stainless steel as
shown in the schedule below. All brass barbed branches are
constructed of solid brass to accept Onix tubing. Manifolds and
manifold components are assembled by brazing and/or soldering.
Ribbed branches are spaced at 2" on center (o.c.) on all Custom
Tubular Manifolds. Branches on CustomCuts are spaced at either 3"
or 4" o.c. Three inches are allowed on ends of manifolds, including
union if supplied. Stainless Steel Manifolds have a branch spacing
of 2-1/8" o.c., CazzBrass Manifolds have a spacing of 2".
All mani-
folds have a maximum operating pressure of 100 psig at 200°F.
Several options are available as described below.
OPTIONAL MANIFOLD FEATURES
1. Mini Ball Valves (MBVs) are supplied for system purging,
balancing, and isolation. MBVs are made of brass construction with
stainless steel ball and Teflon seats. MBVs are installed on the
return manifold (BVR), or the supply and return manifold (BVSR) of
Custom Tubular Manifolds. Swedged and CustomCut Manifolds are
supplied either with or without MBVs.
2. Unions can be installed on Custom Tubular Manifolds for ease of
installation and system maintenance. 1" all-brass unions are
constructed entirely of solid brass and come with a rubber O-ring to
assure a tight seal. 1-1/4" to 3" unions are constructed of brass
nuts with copper sleeves and an O-ring seal.
3. Vent-and-purge Assemblies or End Assemblies are available for
purging air and/or water from the radiant zone(s). These assemblies
are constructed of a “key” type manual vent and drain valve for
system purging.
4. Other specialized components as described and verified by
manufacturer:________________________________________________
