Part Number 650-000-221/0298

USE HEAT EMISSION PLATES

!Snap the tubing into AlumiPex Heat Emission Plates placed on the sleepers.

!These plates spread the heat evenly to the floor and ensure that the tubing is maintained in tight contact with the flooring above.

!Staple the heat emission plates to the sleepers on one side only to allow the plates to conform as the flooring or subfloor is installed.

PASSAGE UNDER WALLS

!Avoid running tube under walls if possible.

!Where tubing must run under a wall, mark the framing above for 6 inches on either side of this location so no fasteners will be driven into the framing near the tubing.

CLOSER SPACING

!Tubing is often spaced closer near outside walls with cool surface temperatures or large window areas.
