Step 3: Attaching the Traks/plates
Start attaching the Traks via staples or zip screws (staples

" to ½" crown by ¾" to 1", depending upon
subfloor thickness; putting in 18 to 20 staples for an 8-ft. piece and 10 to 12 staples for a 4-ft. piece; zip
screws ¾" to 1", depending on subfloor thickness). Begin attaching Traks 8" to 10" from the closest hole
that was drilled to allow ample room for tubing to turn. Continue to install Traks the entire length of the bay
(or to where desired circuit ends), keeping the space in between Traks to around 1". Stop Trak installation
12" to 16" short of where you want circuit to end (e.g., wall, main beam, room above) to allow for a
non-stressful loop. When stapling up Traks, be sure to keep staple gun square to avoid staple deflection.
Safety glasses and ear protection are recommended.
NOTE: Traks should be attached as flush as possible to the subfloor for best heat transfer.
NOTE: When Traks are cut, be sure to debur them to avoid any tubing damage.
