A manifold for distributing water in a central heating system has a series of elongate chambers (figure 5: 43, 45, 49) formed by spaces enclosed between the outer wall and one or more internal chamber walls. The manifold also has a cross plate 74 fitted across the width of the outer wall to divide at least one of the elongate chambers into shorter chambers or to seal the end of at least one of the chambers. The cross plate 74 is secured in a slot 77 cut into the outer wall. The cross plate(s) may be brazed to form a leak-tight joint. During assembly, the partitioning plate 74 may be rotated and then slid into position (figures 17-19). |
