Novus Ø50 mm PP-R Manifold
Ø50 mm PPRC Manifold is a PPRC (PP-R) manifold made from a Ø50 mm body with a 41 mm internal diameter, with a project-specific length and branch layout. At a water velocity of 1.0–1.5 m/s it is suitable for flow rates of 4.7 – 7.1 m³/h and, at ΔT = 20 K, a thermal output of 110 – 165 kW. Branch sizes, outlet directions and connection type are specified with the order.

What capacity is a Ø50 mm manifold suitable for?
With a body inner diameter of 41 mm, the cross-sectional area is 0.0013 m². Using Q = A × v × 3600, the recommended flow rate is 4.7 – 7.1 m³/h; using P = Q × 1.163 × ΔT, the thermal capacity at ΔT = 20 K is 110 – 165 kW. If ΔT in your heating circuit is 15 K, capacity drops by about one quarter.
Number of branches suitable for this body
The cross-sectional area of the manifold body is selected to be at least 1.5 times the total cross-sectional area of the branches. Under this rule, the upper limits for a Ø50 mm body are:
| Branch size | Recommended max. quantity |
|---|---|
| Ø20 mm | 4 pcs |
| Ø25 mm | 2 pcs |
| Ø32 mm | 1 pc |
| Ø40 mm | 1 pc |
Values are based on the cross-section rule only; the exact number depends on the center-to-center spacing, valve/fitting width and body length.
Connection and end options
Outlets can be made as PPRC weld sockets (unthreaded), brass external thread, brass internal thread, union, flanged or with valves; different types can be combined on the same body. The body ends are closed with a blind plug, dished cap, flange, weld end or thread. On request, ball/butterfly valves, pressure gauge–thermometer pockets, drain valves, air vent connections, legs and brackets are added.
Made to measure
For the Ø50 mm body, the length, number of branches and center-to-center spacing can be produced in any combination. When you select the dimensions in the manifold configurator, a dimensioned A4 technical drawing, a 3D model and a quote summary are generated instantly; you can also send your drawing via WhatsApp to get a price and lead time.

Frequently asked questions
What capacity is a Ø50 mm manifold suitable for?
A Ø50 mm body suits a flow rate of 4.7 – 7.1 m³/h at a water velocity of 1.0–1.5 m/s. Assuming ΔT = 20 K, this corresponds to a thermal output of about 110 – 165 kW — roughly a heating plant for 13 apartments. At other ΔT values, capacity changes in direct proportion.
What is the price of the Ø50 mm PPRC Manifold?
The price is project-specific, as it is calculated from the body length, number and size of branches, connection type, pressure rating and options. Send us your dimensions and we will get back to you with the price and lead time.
Do I specify the body length and number of branches myself?
Yes. Length, number/size of branches, outlet directions and center-to-center spacing are all made to your drawing. You can make your selections in the configurator and print an A4 technical drawing.
