Moisture protection around underfloor heating manifold?
We have waterborne underfloor heating and therefore have an underfloor heating manifold on each floor. However, it is placed in the wall with a hatch and there is no moisture protection around it.
What do the regulations say? Should it be considered a wet room, or?
The thing is that mold has formed on the floor inside the wall and I suspect it has to do with the venting and now I wonder how the insurance company will respond to this, i.e. so I can prepare myself a little for whatever is to come...

All connections feel dry, but there is an automatic air vent that is supposed to release air from the system and you can jiggle it a bit, then some air usually hisses out and at the same time a few drops of water come out. Could that be the cause?
It's also quite warm around the pipes, so I would think all moisture should evaporate immediately?!

It is very possible the reason... even if only air comes in, it is humid....
it's not enough for it to be warm... it also needs to be ventilated out.... a couple of holes... high and low...
PS. I don't like automatic air vents DS.
