Application
SlabHeat cables are only designed for use in an interior space embedded
in concrete.
SlabHeat Cables are available in various lengths with
voltage options of 120 VAC and 240 VAC.
Installation Guidelines
Determine a time to install the cable when equipment, heavy tools, and site
traffic will be minimal. Apply the surfacing courses over the cable the same
day the cable is installed.
If installing cable in the upper layer of a two-stage concrete slab, the cable
should be completely ready for the second stage. There is limited time
between stages, as the slab should not be allowed to fully cure. Therefore,
lay out the cable and tie it to rewire that can be quickly lifted into place
after the first stage is laid.
Inspect the area and remove any sharp objects.
Install in temperatures at least 50°F (10°C).
For a new concrete slab, when a run of cable exceeds 20 feet, an additional
downward U-shaped loop with a 1 to 2 inch radius, should be added to help
minimize possible damage to the cable from thermal expansion.
