Installation instructions
The sub-floor has to have a load-bearing construction in accordance with
current building regulations. nVent RAYCHEM T2Red may be cut to length,
crossed or installed side by side if necessary. T2Red can be installed under
most floor coverings like e.g. tile, wood, laminate, thin carpets suitable for
floor heating, linoleum etc. The thermal resistance of the floor construction
above T2Red has to be as low as possible. T2Red is not recommended for
installations between wooden joists or under wooden floors with a thickness
greater than 16 mm. Always pay attention to instructions of the adhesive for
floor covering. Do not lay the heating cable in areas that might be damaged by
drilling holes etc.
IMPORTANT!
It is recommended to install the floor sensor in an empty conduit
and seal this completely so it's possible to replace a defective
sensor easily. The sensor itself should be located close to the
surface immediately under floor tiles or other floor covering and it
should be positioned centrally between two heating cables. Avoid
mechanical damages to the heating cable! In case of damages a splice kit
can be used.
Always follow the suppliers instructions regarding the top flooring
installation, suitability and limitations.
The maximum circuit length of T2Red is dependent of minimum
start-up temperature.
Do not use T2Red or Reflecta in applications with lower start-up
temperature than +5°C.
T2Red or Reflecta is only suitable for indoor use.
Pay attention to local standards and rules.
