Pipe layout diagrams for your Underfloor Heating system
Depending on the system you have been supplied, you have a couple of options when laying your pipework.
Option 1 – SERPENTINE
With this method, you run your pipe work towards the far corner from where you enter the room, then snake the pipe back at the centres specified. To avoid kinking the pipe at the turns, it is recommended to have the turns be larger spacings in a ‘lightbulb’ fashion.
Option 2 – COUNTERFLOW
Once again work your pipe work towards the far corner from where you enter the room but instead of heading back you will want to start working towards the middle of the room in double the pipe spacing that is specified (300mm for a finished spacing of 150mm).
As you approach the centre you will then be able to turn back on yourself and work your way back between the pipe you have laid so that each pipe spacing is now half what you were laying it as.
This system is good for tighter pipe spacings as the risk of kinking the pipe is much lower.
