SlabHeat Cable is a complete heating cable consisting of a series
resistance heating cable and a single power lead for easy single-point
connection. The heating cable length cannot be cut to fit.
SlabHeat Cables are available in various lengths with
voltage options of 120 and 240VAC.
Application
SlabHeat cables are designed for use only in an interior space embedded
in concrete.

ATTENTION: Never cut the heating cable or damage
it in any way. Use only the attachment methods as
described in the Installation Manual to fasten the
SlabHeat cable to the floor, as other methods may
damage the heating cable.

Installation Parameters
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.
