Water underfloor heating

Area + pipe spacing → pipe length and loop count

Parameters

Pipe length ≈ area / spacing (m) + 10–15% for feeds. One loop — max 80–100 m of 16mm pipe (hydraulic resistance); larger areas — split into equal-length loops (±10%), or the manifold won't balance. 16mm pipe for 10–15cm spacing, 20mm for large areas at 20cm.
