BDR91 instead of HCC80 for Underfloor heating

[RickyL]

Hello,

I'm fairly new here.

I am renovating (slowly) an old property and have Evohome.

The heating is a system boiler, 50kw approx. Unvented cylinder and radiators over 3 floors with 5 zones and HW controlled at the moment.

I have electric UFH in 3 room's which I plan to "trigger" using BDR91's, all circuits are under 1kw, so no need for a contactor. I would then use a room stat in that room, I trust this is a sound plan?

I am just doing the next 2 rooms which will be wet UFH, I purchased 2 x Y87RF2024 kits, to get the above room stats, so have 2 x BDR91 relays surplus to requirements.

Do I need to use the HCC80R? Or can I just use the BDR relays, connected to MT4/8 valves?

Does anybody have a good link for wet UFH manifolds?

Many thanks for any help.

Regards
Ricky

You only need the HCC80R is you are using a single manifold and trying to create zones. Even there you can be clever and use BDR91s with wired acutators if you just need a couple of zones.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I think this is the route I'll go, I will have one manifold for the 2 or 3 zones, but it'll be cheaper and better to use a couple of these kits,

I have the BDR and stat included.

I'll let you know how I get on.

But you still need to add the price of the wired actuators

Yes of course, They're not that expensive though.

Not sure if I need 4mm or 8mm actuators yet.

But come to think of this. How would the bdr91 supply power to the wired actuators and the actuators need a way to sense partial open and close too, not just on and off. So I don't think connecting them to a BDR91 will work.
