Hydronic Radiant Heating * Zone Panels *

I am having hydronic radiant heating installed in my new construction home. I have seen lots of applications where the piping for distribution and pumps are outright ugly. It is inconsistent between installers, spreadout too much space on a wall, and does not look good to the eyes. I have dones some research and see some zone control panels where the distribution is factory assembled to a nice boxed configuration. I just don’t know about their reliability or brand names, such as Zone Control Panel, Mfg (attached). Does anyone have suggestions on reliable manufacturer for this condensed panel?
Thx.

Have you got a heating sub aboard yet? My regular for HW radiant told me that what you are after (Google for boiler room in a box) is not cost effective, and that his guys all do on-site makeups that are equivalent in layout and efficiency of space. While I agree with him on the looks issue, I cannot comment on cost.
Here are two firms to ask about your needs, both of which do custom packages, while the ZCP is pretty much a "standard" package: AIM Radiant and BGM Supply.
