It is VERY IMPORTANT to plan the Nuheat Cable installation before
securing any part of the floor heating system to the subfloor.
1. Using grid paper, draw a sketch of the room, complete with perimeter dimensions.
This sketch will become the Installation Layout Plan and be referenced throughout
the installation process. See Figure 2.17.

under which Nuheat Cable cannot be installed.
3. Indicate the location and dimensions of toilet drains, heating vents or other
heating appliances. Nuheat Cable should be installed a minimum of:
a. 6” from the center of toilet drains
b. 8” from heating vents or other heating appliances
4. Indicate the thermostat location on the Installation Layout Plan. The thermostat
indicates the mechanical joint location and the start of the heating cable.
5. Draw the Nuheat Cable Guides on the Installation Layout Plan. Guides should
generally be installed along the floor of two opposing walls.
To accommodate curved or angled walls and obstructions,
Nuheat Cable Guides may be cut into smaller pieces before being
secured to the subfloor. See Figure 2.15.
Each Nuheat Cable Guide is 12” long.
