AAlumiPex Tubing, 1/2”

!Use AlumiPex tubing, 1/2”, commonly spaced on 6½-inch centers as shown (equal to 5½" for the sleeper plus 1" gap).

BAlumiPex Heat Emission Plates

!Use AlumiPex Heat Emission Plates to distribute the heat evenly to the floor above. Space plates from 1/4” to 1” apart end to end to allow for thermal expansion.

CSleepers

!Glue and nail 1 x __ wood sleepers to the subflooring, starting from one side of the room and working toward the other.

!Leave a 1" gap between sleepers to provide room for the heat emission plate groove.

DStaples

!Secure each 2-foot long plate to the sleepers with 5/8" staples. Staple one side only to allow the plates to level out as the top subfloor or finish wood flooring is applied..

ECover Sheet

!A cover sheet must be used if the finished flooring will be carpet, tile, vinyl or laminated hardwood.

FMark the Tubing Locations

!Always mark the top subfloor with a chalk line or other mark to clearly show the location of the tubing underneath, ensuring the tubing won't be penetrated by fasteners.

!Pay extra attention to marking the tubing bend locations as well.
