A hydronic radiant heat boiler system uses heated water, tubing, and controls to distribute warmth through floors or other zones. The products below are preassembled control and distribution panels, not boilers. The Warming Systems panels suit buyers who want listed components such as an expansion tank and air separator; Floorheat Store panels offer a more concise preassembled option. Choose the panel by zone needs and verify it matches your boiler, piping, and heating design before purchase.
| Product | Best suited for | Notable listed details |
|---|---|---|
| Floorheat Store 1-Zone | A single heating zone | Preassembled, space-saving design |
| Warming Systems 1-Zone | One zone with listed system components | UPSe15-58 pump, expansion tank, air separator |
| Floorheat Store 2-Zone | Two heating zones | Preassembled distribution panel |
| Warming Systems 2-Zone | Two zones with listed system components | Glycol compatibility stated |
| Warming Systems 3-Zone | Multiple zones and broader setup details | 1-inch boiler and ¾-inch manifold connections |
Floorheat Store 1-Zone Hydronic Control Panel
This preassembled panel is best for a radiant heating layout with one zone. Its listed features emphasize an energy-efficient hydronic distribution design and a space-saving format intended for home, underfloor, and space heating. Preassembly may simplify the setup compared with assembling individual distribution components, although the listing does not specify every included part.
Choose this if a compact, single-zone panel fits the project and you can confirm its connections suit the system design. A limitation is that the provided product information does not list connection dimensions or a component inventory. The listing also says a direct phone number is required for delivery.
Warming Systems 1-Zone Radiant Heat Panel
Best for buyers who want a one-zone panel with several named components included. The product listing identifies a UPSe15-58 pump, expansion tank, and air separator, and says the panel is preassembled for hydronic heating. It is described for heated floors, radiant heat, and snow melt.
The listing says the panel is compatible with glycol systems and can connect to a boiler or water heater. It specifies 1-inch copper boiler connections and ¾-inch copper supply and return manifold connections. Confirm the exact configuration with the manufacturer: the listing also says it can control one to four zones, while this product name identifies a 1-zone version.
Floorheat Store 2-Zone Hydronic Control Panel
This panel is best for a home heating design that needs two zones and a straightforward preassembled distribution product. The listing describes a professionally designed hydronic panel for underfloor, home, and space heating, with an attractive, space-saving layout. Its zone count makes it a better fit than the single-zone Floorheat model when the system requires two independently managed areas.
The available details do not identify included components, pump specifications, or connection sizes. Verify those requirements and the panel’s suitability for the boiler and manifold before choosing it. The listing notes that a direct phone number is required for delivery.
Warming Systems 2-Zone Hydronic Panel
Best for buyers who need two zones and want a panel listing an expansion tank, air separator, and UPSe15-58 pump. Warming Systems describes its panel as preassembled, easier to flush and fill, and built with standard name-brand components intended to support future service. It is listed for radiant floors, snow melt, and other hydronic heating applications.
The listing states compatibility with glycol systems and gives 1-inch copper boiler connections and ¾-inch copper manifold connections. It also says the panel can control one to four zones, so confirm the specific two-zone configuration and included controls before ordering.
Warming Systems 3-Zone Hydronic Panel
This is the best match in this selection for a project planned around three heating zones. Listed components include a UPSe15-58 pump, expansion tank, and air separator. The panel is described as preassembled, glycol-compatible, and suitable for connection to a boiler or water heater. Warming Systems also says it offers engineering support.
Its listed connection sizes are 1-inch copper at the boiler and ¾-inch copper at the supply and return manifolds. A limitation is that the product description says it controls one to four zones despite the three-zone product name. Confirm the supplied zone configuration and design requirements before purchase.
Buying Guide: How To Choose A Radiant Heat Control Panel
How many heating zones does the system need?
Match the panel to the number of independently controlled areas in the heating plan. A one-zone panel may suit a single floor or area; a two- or three-zone option may better fit a layout with separate spaces. Confirm the actual zone configuration, particularly when the listing describes a broader range than the product name.
Does the panel include the components you need?
Compare the product’s stated inventory with the project specifications. Warming Systems lists a pump, expansion tank, and air separator. The Floorheat Store descriptions emphasize preassembly and space-saving design but provide fewer component details. Ask for clarification when a part or control is essential.
Will it connect to the boiler and piping?
Check connection sizes, boiler requirements, manifold dimensions, and the system’s planned flow and controls with a qualified heating professional. The Warming Systems listings specify 1-inch boiler and ¾-inch manifold copper connections. Do not assume compatibility based only on the phrase “hydronic heating.”
Is glycol or a water heater part of the design?
The Warming Systems descriptions state glycol compatibility and say the panels work with a water heater as well as a boiler. Verify that the chosen product and complete system are appropriate for the intended fluid, heat source, and local design requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a radiant heat control panel the same as a boiler?
No. These products are distribution and control panels. The listed products do not include a boiler as part of the product name or description.
Can these panels be used for underfloor heating?
The listings describe the panels for radiant heating and heated floors. Confirm the selected model’s specifications against the floor tubing and system design.
Which panel is best for a single zone?
The Floorheat Store and Warming Systems one-zone models are both options. The Warming Systems listing names a pump, expansion tank, and air separator; the Floorheat Store listing emphasizes preassembly and compact design.
Do the Warming Systems panels support glycol?
Yes. Their product descriptions state that they are compatible with glycol systems. Verify the application details with the manufacturer or a heating professional.
