Precision Hydronics php-100018750-4 Copper Zone Header 18 Outlet

Product Description

The PRECISION HYDRONICS php-100018750-4 is an 18-outlet copper zone header designed for hydronic heating distribution systems. Built from copper with a 4-inch header pipe, it accepts 1-inch by 3/4-inch port connections and runs 72 inches in length to accommodate large multi-zone installations. Plain end connections allow field-cut and soldered integration into existing piping. Hydronic heating contractors and mechanical plumbers install this header as the central distribution point between the boiler loop and individual zone circuits, routing heated water to multiple zones from a single, organized manifold assembly.

This zone header is suited for commercial and large residential hydronic heating systems where multiple zones must be served from a single supply or return header. Its 72-inch length and 18-port configuration make it appropriate for multi-zone radiant floor systems, baseboard convector arrays, and fan coil distribution in larger buildings. The copper construction is compatible with standard hydronic system fluids including water and glycol-water mixtures commonly used in freeze-prone applications.

Key Features

• 18 outlet ports for high-zone-count hydronic distribution in a single header assembly
• Copper body construction for durability and compatibility with hydronic system fluids
• 4-inch header pipe size supports high flow capacity across all zones
• 1-inch by 3/4-inch port sizing accommodates common hydronic branch piping
• 72-inch overall length provides spacing for large multi-zone layouts
• Plain end connections allow soldered field termination to match existing piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydronic zone header for use in multi-zone hydronic heating distribution systems requiring an 18-port copper manifold with 4-inch header pipe and 1-inch by 3/4-inch port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor familiar with hydronic heating systems and applicable codes including the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and International Mechanical Code (IMC). Shut down and depressurize the hydronic system before cutting into any supply or return lines. Plain end connections require proper soldering technique and flux application per copper piping best practices. Support the header adequately with approved pipe hangers to prevent stress on branch connections after installation.
