Abstract (en)

A pump module (2) for use in a manifold for a floor heating system comprises an internal space, a valve seat which is located in the internal space, and a number of connection openings (22, 23, 25) which provide access to the internal space from outside of the pump module (2). The pump module (2) can be used in combination with a valve element for opening/closing a passage through the valve seat. Furthermore, various components of the manifold, including a pump, a duct for supplying water to pipes of the floor heating system, and a duct for receiving water from said pipes can be connected to the pump module (2) at suitable positions on the pump module (2) through the connection openings (22, 23, 25). The pump module (2) is widely applicable, and offers advantages over specifically designed connections in a manifold, including the advantage of reduced costs.
