2.3 Heatwave® typical installations and applications
Alternative method: self-leveling cement is recommended for large surfaces and the following floor materials: engineered wood, laminate, floating floors, vinyl, linoleum and carpet.
Consult the manufacturer for information on special installation requirements for carpets, wood, laminate and vinyl or linoleum flooring.
- Read the instructions carefully before installing Heatwave® system.
- Remember to measure the resistance four times.
- Do not install Heatwave® in walls or ceilings.
- The cable must be embedded in cementitious material.
- The minimum installation temperature is 40ºF (5°C ).
- The heating cable cannot be cut to length, crossed over itself, or installed too close to itself.
- Use copper conductor feeder wire only.
- Remember to check that the supply voltage matches the voltage of the Heatwave.
- Remember to place the labels as written in this instruction.
- Only for indoor installation.
- Metal structures or materials used for the support of or on which the Heatwave® is installed must be grounded in accordance with applicable CSA or NEC requirements.
