11⁄4" Modular Manifold

Download Submittal
The Messana 11⁄4" modular manifold series was designed specifically for hydronic cooling and heating applications. It is based on fit-snap interlocking modules that can be used to build a manifold in various sizes (from 2 to 12 loops). The supply and return mains are assembled separately and then connected together through adjustable mounting brackets.

Each main is composed of an NPT (or ISO) female inlet module, followed by a fill/drain module with automatic air bleed valve, temperature probe, and a sequence of 2-loop and/or 3-loop modules terminated with an end module. The supply ports feature a flow gauge and control valve (red ring) to adjust the flow on each loop individually.

The return ports come with a manual on/off valve with a removable blue knob that can be replaced with a thermal actuator.

Model
11⁄4" modular manifold for hydronic cooling and heating
 
Part number
CPRMnn32 where nn indicates the number of loops (02, 03, .. ,12).
Example: CPRM0732 for a 7-loop
 
Features
Fit-snap mechanism, assemble with just a click (no tools required)
Suitable to be vertically or horizontally mounted with inlets either on the left or right side

Interlocking modular system with quick snap-fit connection

Messana Modular Manifold
1

Each female module comes with a dual O-ring.
Before connecting make sure the double O-ring
is properly seated inside the female adapter.

2

Always leave the black cap of the air
bleed valve open to let the air out.

3

Adjust the loop flow
by turning the red ring
(clockwise to close).

4

Loop can be manually closed
by turning the blue knob clockwise.

5

Thermal actuators are installed
on the return modules by removing
the blue knobs and connecting
the AV10 adapter rings on the M30x1.5 outlets.

6

To install the Eurokonus EK20,
insert it into the push-in male outlet
and secure it by pushing the fixing clip.
