Ground Recessed Manifold Vaults for XFM Series Manifolds
Rhella manifold vaults provide a clean, safe, and professional below-grade enclosure for XFM Series manifolds in snowmelt and radiant heating systems. Constructed from durable 201 stainless steel, these vaults offer excellent corrosion resistance and long-term reliability when exposed to the elements. The design ensures that the manifold can be accessed for maintenance while remaining fully protected underground.
Features & Benefits:
- Optimized for XFM Manifolds: Specifi cally designed to house Rhella XFM manifolds with precise internal dimensions, allowing for easy installation and future servicing without unnecessary bulk.
- Heavy-Duty 201 Stainless Steel Construction: The 4mm top lid and 2mm side panels provide robust protection against corrosion and physical impact, ensuring a long service life . The lid features a slip-resistant checkered surface for safety and an overlap cover design to keep dirt and debris out.
- Flexible Installation Options: Perforated knock-out side connections allow for easy tubing penetration, accommodating pre-insulated PEX tubing. This design offers flexibility to install supply and return lines before or after the manifold is placed.
- Durable & Accessible Design: The high-load-bearing lid is reinforced for rigidity and is designed to withstand normal foot traffi c and incidental contact with lawn care equipment. Pre-drilled anchor holes simplify securing the vault to a concrete slab or patio stones.
- Safety & Convenience Features: Folded-over edges on the top and front openings protect hands and PEX tubing from abrasion or cutting damage during installation and maintenance. The 12-inch depth is optimized for the ideal installation height of Rhella XFM manifolds.
- Quick Installation: The vault is delivered pre-assembled to expedite on-site installation.
