When it comes to distribution manifolds for heating and plumbing systems, the materials, flow rate and number of ways are often the only things considered.
However, one technical detail that can greatly influence installers’ daily work is the distance between the manifold outlets.
So, what is the centre distance, and why is it important?
The centre distance is the space between the centres of the outlets of a manifold.
This may seem like a minor parameter, but it directly affects handling and accessibility during installation and maintenance.
In fact, a centre distance that is too small can make it difficult to:
- the correct tightening of fittings, especially with traditional spanners
- the positioning of hoses
- the management of space in tight working environments.
Luxor’s solution: larger centre distance for easier work
To meet the specific requirements of installers, Luxor has designed its distribution manifolds with a larger centre distance.
This technical choice stems from an ongoing dialogue with professionals in the sector who want practical, functional tools.
The main advantages are:
- More space for tightening fittings, allowing the installer to use the spanner more easily and safely.
- Tidy and fast installations.
- More convenient and faster maintenance work.
Functionality and innovation for plumbers and installers
All Luxor manifolds, whether made of brass or stainless steel, incorporate this technical solution while maintaining high-quality standards and offering corrosion resistance, compatibility with modern systems, and a wide range of configurations.
