As mentioned, how have you solved the inspection hatch for the underfloor heating manifold?
I've seen that there are special boxes to embed in the wall, but they cost over 2000:- for a metal box with a hatch.
I've found those that sell only the hatch to embed in the plaster wall, but the largest is 400x400mm, which might be on the smaller side or what do you think? I have 7 loops on the manifold.
I'd appreciate tips on where to buy hatches at reasonable prices.

I am placing the manifold in what I am building in a space with a floor drain, completely without a cabinet. It is just mounted on the wall among a lot of other pipe installations. Neat, no, but there are so many other pipes there, including a pressure tank and a water filter, that the space is intended as an installation area.
And to avoid creating an additional need for a potable water manifold and associated (unnecessarily) expensive cabinets, I will also install the potable water manifold in the same room, even if it requires a few extra meters of Alupex pipe to the consumers. I skip the cabinet.
I don't think you need a watertight cabinet for underfloor heating, since it's the heating system with a limited amount of water in case of leakage. However, for potable water distribution, the leakage can be potentially extensive.
