3. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted in the
panel and seated against the upper knobs
before making a corner or beginning or
continuing a run.
NOTE: The use of foam staples is not required for
the installation of tubing in this product. However,
you may nd them useful in preventing the tubing
from lifting at offsets or return bends. Foam staples
can be installed by hand or with the use of a Viega
foam staple gun. Both lengths of Viega staples
(part number 15313 or 15312) are compatible with
Rapid Grid.
4. Continue installing the tubing until the entire
area has been completed.
5. The tubing should start and end at the
manifold location.
NOTE: If concrete is not poured immediately upon
installation of Rapid Grid, care should be taken to
protect the products from lifting due to adverse
weather conditions. This can be done by adding
temporary weighting to the perimeter of the oor
area. Caution should be taken as to not damage
the tubing or Rapid Grid panels.
