INSTALLATION — CONCRETE
Stairs (Concrete Only) Application: If you are installing TC Cable onto stairs, secure a single run of cable to the side of a riser. Lay 4
or runs of cable on the tread area as needed and continue up each stair following these guidelines:
 Lay cable no greater than 3” from the front edge of the finished stair. Not doing so, cable will not melt snow properly.
 Lay cable no less than 6” from the side edges of the finished stair.
 Account for future hand railings that could be mounted onto staircase, especially in the middle of a long staircase if required. Use a marker
on drawings on the next page to indicate where railing my be installed safely later.
 Avoid pinching or sharply bending the cable. At the corner of the stair, keep a minimum 1” radius bend, but secure it flat enough that the
surface concrete or pavers will not pinch the cable.
 Do not install the cable on or under non-masonry stairs such as wooden or composite construction.

Turn Techniques for SCM mats
If you need to cut and turn the mat, or fill odd areas, you may use scissors to carefully cut the tape holding the heating cables. Heating cables
should be secured at about 3” apart, and no less than 2” apart.
Important—Be careful not to kink or sharply bend the heating cable. A minimum bend radius of 1” should be maintained.
