Low Loss Header PRO 2K by Elterm is a professionalhydronic system componentused in central heating (CH) installations, underfloor heating systems, and domestic hot water (DHW) systems. They ensureproper and stable operation of heating systemsand are manufactured by the Polish companyElterm, a well-known producer of heating equipment and hydronic accessories.
What is a low-loss header?
Alow-loss header is a component that:
Separates the boiler circuit from the heating circuits(e.g. radiators, underfloor heating, DHW tank),
Allowsindependent operation of pumpsin different circuits without the need to balance their flows,
Stabilises flow rates and pressurein the system,
Protects the boileragainst too low return temperatures (reduces low-temperature corrosion),
Facilitatesair venting and dirt/sludge separationin the system.
What does “PRO” mean in Elterm low loss headers?
In Elterm’s product range,“PRO” denotesmore advanced versions of SHE-PRO low loss headers, often equipped with additional features or improved insulation (e.g.EPP thermal insulation), and designed to work seamlessly with other system components such asKRE PRO manifolds.
Example models from the PRO series include:
SHE-PRO up to 40kW -for heating systems up to 40kW
SHE-PRO up to 70 kW– for heating systems up to approx. 70 kW,
SHE-PRO up to 156 kW– for larger systems up to approx. 156 kW,
SHE-PRO 2K– a version designed for two heating circuits or pump groups.
Main functions of Elterm PRO low-loss headers
✔️Hydraulic separation– isolates the boiler side from the distribution side, preventing flow interference ✔️Simplified pump cooperation– multiple pumps can operate without precise hydraulic matching ✔️Air and sludge separation– improves system cleanliness and efficiency ✔️Boiler protection– prevents cold return water from entering the boiler, extending its service life ✔️Thermal insulation– PRO versions are factory insulated (EPP), reducing heat losses and improving efficiency
