PREPARE THE HEATING PANELS
NOTE: Heating panels should be
prepared for each room at one time prior to starting
installation.
| 1.
|
The panels are cut to
length using a knife or scissors to fit
the bays under the
heatable area.
|
| 2.
|
Connectors are then
attached to one end of each heating
panel set. To attach:
Center a connector over one end of each
bus bar, pressing them in
place with finger pressure, and then
crimp each connector in
place using the flat portion of the
crimping tool as shown in
the following figure.
|
| 3.
|
Insulate the other end of
each bus bar. Place a length of
electrical tape over the exposed end of
each bus bar opposite the
electrical connector.

Attaching
Heating Panel Sets
| 1.
|
Heating panel sets are
aligned with the joists to which they
will be attached.
|
| 2.
|
The panels are set in
place with nails or staples, leaving at
least a 6" clearance to walls or
partitions at the connector
end for wiring and final assembly. Nails
or staples are placed as
close to the perforated bending line as
possible, maintaining a 2"
space between the perforation and the
top edge of the joist.
Nails or staples should be placed at
least once every 12" along
each side of the heating panel set.
|
| 3.
|
The heating panel are then
folded so that they run level between
the two joists. The other side of the
panels are then nailed or
stapled to the other floor joist into
position.
|
NOTE
Heating panels should be recessed 2" from
the bottom of the floor to create an air gap above
the heating panels. This air gap will maximize the
performance of the RetroHeat system.
