The method of using water distributor in the radiator system is called an octopus pipe system. This method has the advantages of no joints and no hidden dangers of water leakage. water collector is connected to each group of radiators. It is the control center of the entire system. Its installation location is usually best in the secondary bathroom for the following reasons:
1. The secondary bathroom can meet the drainage needs. The heating water delivered by the main pipe
is distributed to each group of radiators through the water distributor. The heat-dissipated heating water returns to the water collector and then returns to the main pipe, so the water collector is prone to leakage.
Install it in the bathroom. The bathroom floor has a floor drain design, so when the water collector leaks, it will not cause harm to the decoration.
2. The location of the secondary bathroom is usually in the center of a house.
Each group of radiators is connected to the water collector through two pipes. Since the specific position of each group of radiators is determined according to the structure of the house, the total length of the pipes connected to each group of radiators is different.
This will lead to a large difference in the circulation time of the water supply and return of the radiator, and even make debugging very difficult. The consequences of the difference in the heating time of the radiator are too large.
The location of the bathroom is usually in the middle of a house, so the water collector is designed to be installed here so that it is in the middle of the house. This can reduce the difficulty of debugging and the heating time of the radiator is also relatively uniform.
3. In the secondary bathroom, it is more hidden and beautiful.
html Although the 1-point water collector can be installed in the wall in an inlaid manner, I think there is no more beautiful place in a house than behind the bathroom door. It is usually hidden behind the door. When you need to operate it, you can only open the bathroom door to see it, so it is the best place to put it here.
Summary
On the other hand, when a sub-collector is used in a radiator system, its location should be considered from the perspective of drainage convenience, central position and concealment. Although it has the advantages of no joints and no hidden dangers of water leakage, its disadvantages are also very prominent. Special attention should be paid during construction, otherwise it will easily lead to loose and unstable ground.
