The wet instillation of
Hydronic and electric radiant heating systems.
In a "wet" installation, the
hydronic and electric radiant heating systems are installed in concrete
or poured masonry. The cementitious material helps to radiate the heat
produced by the heating product by spreading the warmth horizontally,
thereby reducing hot and cold spots in the floor. Follow radiant heating
standards and manufacturer's instructions for tubing and cable minimum
depth specifications; nominal minimum depth is 2 inches (50 mm) below
the surface.
Before installing the floor covering, the sub floor must be completely
dry. Turn the radiant heating on to a low heat, then raise the supply
temperature progressively until it reaches the maximum operating
temperature and maintain it until the ambient relative humidity is
stabilized.
The self-regulating elements can be installed on the slab surface after
the concrete is poured and cured.
