B.3 Creating a material list
The chart below is intended for conceptual purposes in developing an initial material list; there may be
variations in each job. You may use Radiant Wizard to create a final material list.
• Calculate the net
heated area.
• Use charts to make an
initial materials list for the
net area to be heated.

NOTES: Where multipliers are located in the table, multiply the net heated area by the corresponding
multiplier to derive the estimated amount. For example, if ViegaPEX Barrier is specified at 6" on center
for 1,000 ft
2
of net heated area, the estimated amount of tubing required is 1,000 x 2.2 = 2,200 ft. Tubing
multipliers include 10% overage for leaders.
