Remove the product from the box and verify the electrical and
insulation resistance of the heating cable.
Therma Cable strappings’ installation:
– The strappings are fixed on the floor with staples (T50) (when the floor is made
of plywood or wood) or with a hot glue gun.
– The strappings must follow the outline draw on the room layout (Section 4.1)
– If the lacing distance between two strappings is over 0.625 m (2 ft.), it is
necessary to place an intermediate strapping to maintain the cable in position
during the pouring of self-leveller, this strapping is installed at the end, after the
lacing of the cable.
– The cable can be installed under the ceramic tile of a shower. The strapping
and the heating cable must be glued under the appropriate waterproofing
membrane (not sold by Ouellet Canada Inc.). Do not stapled, staples could
damage the waterproofing membrane.

Installation of Therma Cable
– Set the cable near the connection box and regularly lace the heating wire
respecting the distance between the sections; 76 mm (3”).
– Do not bend the cable at 90° when setting it in the strapping hooks; leave a
20 mm (¾“) radius. This radius comes naturally; the cable must not be forced
to have a tight bend.
– A tag is located at 50% of the cable length. During installation of the product,
verify the cable half tag to compare with your cable layout planification. Adjust
pattern with the result to cover the surface. If the cable is too long, use the
