Verify the correct Heatwave® Cable has been
purchased to heat the area selected and that the
correct spacing has been determined for the area being
heated, the Watts to be delivered, and the size of system
purchased. DO NOT CUT THE RED HEATING CABLE to fit an
area. See the Tables in Section 4.2.
5.3.1 Plan room layout using tape measure, marking pencil,
and chalk line. Lay out perimeter of area to be heated first,
keeping a minimum of 1.5 inches from walls and or cabinets
and the first run of element. Once the layout is complete,
roll out the Heatwave® Heating Cable, making sure that
both ends of the heating element (where the Heatwave®
Heating Cable is pre-connected to the Cold Lead segment)
are within 15 vertical and horizontal feet of the power
switching thermostat location to accommodate Cold Lead length.
5.3.2 Tie off one Cold Lead at the location where the
power switching thermostat will be located. Continue
by laying out Heatwave® Heating Cable on the
predetermined layout, and fasten with plastic clips as
described below for the floor surface.
5.3.3 When anchoring the Heatwave® Heating Cable to
wood subfloors use either the Plastic Clips (Heatizon Part
#PLASCLIPKIT) or Heatwave® Cable Strap (Heatizon Part
#HWCSTRAP33).
5.3 Heatwave® Cable Installation
Plastic Clips: Each 90 degree bend and each 180 degree turn requires two Heatizon
Plastic Clips. Heatizon Plastic Clips should be spaced approximately every 24 inches
along the length of the Heating cable. Heatizon Plastic Clips can be inserted around
Heatwave® Heating Cable, and secured to sub floor by hammering nail or driving a
screw through anchor ends until both plastic tails are flat against sub floor surface.
Repeat with each Heatizon Plastic Clip until all clips are secure.
Cable Strap: Heatwave® Cable Strap is used to hold Heatwave® Cables in
place on the sub floor surface at the spacing required. Variable spacing options
can be maintained using this thin metal strapping. Cut the strap to length
using ordinary snips. Anchor the strap with screws on plywood or backer
board or with adhesive, hot glue or 2-sided tape on concrete. The strap should
be installed on opposite ends of the room and every five feet in between. If
additional securing of the cable is required, hot glue or tape can be used to
hold in place during the thin set or self-leveling pour. Check continuity between
the Heatwave® Heating Cable and the strap as the cable is installed.
