Planning
Prior to installation, It is recommended to sketch a plan of the layout of the heating system. Cable/Mat locations, sensor placement, junction
boxes, conduits and the location of drains and other obstructions should be noted.
Installing the Cable / Mat
Begin by fastening the heating cable or mat to the mesh reinforcement or rebar using tie-wraps. Do not fix the heating cable of the mat in such
a way that it is compressed or strained - it must be able to move. Unroll the mat up to the point at which it is to be flipped and turned. Use the
figure above for suggestions on how to alter the mat.
Cut the tape using scissors and rotate the mat so that it can be unrolled to cover the area next to the already unrolled mat.
Do not cut the cable! The cable can be carefully detached from the tape and then placed as free cable. This feature can be very useful for
curves and around drains or other obstructions.
Mat Alterations
The TC heating mats can be altered to accommodate drains, obstructions or bends in the layout. By carefully cutting the mat, many patterns and
designs can be created. The figure below illustrates this.
WARNING: DO NOT CUT THE HEATING CABLE.
