In open circuits (for example when using well water),
the water used must be purified from suspended
materials by means of a filter which must be fitted
on the inlet (otherwise there is the risk of erosion by
suspended particles).
The "Standard" radiant panels can be supplied with
hot water at a maximum temperature of 120°C and
with a maximum hydraulic pressure of 10 bar.
"Special" panels can even be supplied with super-
heated water, up to 16 bar of hydraulic pressure.
Pay special attention to the choice of the mixing
valve serving the radiant panels.
In fact, in order to prevent problems due to the dif-
ferent pipe-sheet metal expansion, in the cold start
phase and when changing between the reduced
temperature and the comfort temperature, the flow
water temperature can easily reach 45°C without any
limitation, beyond which it can rise from 45°C up to
85°C, with an increase of 10°C every 3 minutes for
radiant panels equipped with manifold "B", and an
increase of 10°C every 4 minutes for radiant panels
with manifold "D".
Provide hydraulic flow shut-off valves.
The supply pipes of the radiant panels must be de-
signed in order to absorb the movements created by
thermal expansions.
If necessary, fit a dilator in the circuit.
Put a tap or a vent valve on the inlet manifold in the
relevant Ø 3/8" threaded connection, to eliminate air
