<p>A water manifold is usable in the construction of a fluid-based heat-transfer system for space heating, the supply and distribution of potable water, and other applications. The water manifold is formed from a number of elements in a flexible manner, in that the elements are assembled as needed for a particular application. A plurality of manifold segments (100), each supporting a pipe directed away from a main pipe, transfer heat to a specific area, and may be connected in a linear manner, as required by the design of the application. A cross tee segment (300) is attachable to the manifold segments (100), and may be used to support a thermometer unit (200), an automatic air vent or other apparatus. A spigot (400) is attachable to the cross tee segment (300), adjacent to the thermometer unit (200). An open end cap (500) provides a male plastic fitting (540) connected to a brass female fitting (520), thereby allowing connection of the manifold to metal plumbing. A closed end cap (600) allows the manifold to be terminated. A support bracket (700) is adapted to connect to the manifold segments (100) for support.</p> |
