If it is not installed in the floor, the joint may give and your system will no longer work. Not only will your warranty be voided but you will have to repair the joint and place it back into the floor. The joint connects the heated wire to the unheated lead. NEVER leave the factory joint exposed to air and do not place it in or behind the wall.
Installation
This page discusses the recommended practices of installing Warmup mats or cables in a shower.
Yes. The box and mounting requirements are identical for all horizontal Warmup thermostats and the sensor is compatible. If you’d like to swap a 3iE for a 4iE or Tempo thermostat you will need to consult with a qualified electrician, as it requires handling line voltage wires when disconnecting and reconnecting.
This page outlines installation recommendations when installing over a plywood sub-floor.
There is no neutral leg on a double pole breaker and the polarity between the two sides does not match. This will cause the thermostat to trip and/or it will send too much voltage into a 120V heater.
When you have multiple floor heating systems being powered that require more than 15amps, you can use an additional 3iE as a relay as opposed to purchasing a separate generic relay which Warmup can supply.
Connecting one system to the other in series is often referred to as “daisy chaining”. Each floor heating system must be connected individually to the operating floor heating thermostat.
As long as all systems that connect to the thermostat do not exceed 15 amps, running multiple leads up the conduit to the thermostat location is completely acceptable.

We highly recommend the use of polymer-modified adhesives, also known as “modified thinset.” Since the addition of the polymer compound creates a more dense bonding reaction during the curing process, this ultimately improves heat distribution. Acceptable tile adhesives include modified polymer self-leveler or thinset.
