STEP 3: LAYOUT THE WIRE

A. Gently pull the black power supply cable from the box

After 3 meters, you will reach the point at which the power supply cable joins the heating wire.

The joint should be taped to the floor at the start point

B. Layout the heating wire in parallel lines

Begin at the start point and in U shapes go to the furthest point.

C. Space and secure with fixing tape

Using the wire spacing markings as tape down points, secure the heating wire to the floor with adhesive tape.

D. Lay out balance of heating wire

In order to achieve even coverage of the balance of the area to be heated, you may at this stage need to adjust some of the wire spacing that you previously secured.

The heating wires are spaced at least 50mm apart at all times and the heating wires never cross.

E. Tape down the entire heater

Once completed, tape down the entire length of the heating wire, positioning the tape centrally over the wire.

F. Fix power supply cables

If necessary, chisel out channels for power supply cables and the floor probe wire – this will minimise the increased height.

Fit the power supply cables into the channels and secure with fixing tape.

Remove all debris and chippings from the floor.

Remember: Protect the heating wire with cardboard or hardboard between installation and tiling.
