1.1 Product Specifications and Details
Radiant floor heating systems are uniquely designed for use as primary or supplemental heat sources in
residential or light commercial applications for use under tile, stone, hardwood, engineered hardwood,
carpet (verify installation is in compliance with local electrical code), and laminate flooring.
The TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable is composed of a twin-conductor cable and a cold lead of 15 feet for
connection to a power source. The heating cable delivers 3.7 watts/linear foot. Wattage per square foot
depends on the installation. Refer to the “Product Selection Guide--120V” or “Product Selection Guide--240V”
in section 9 for additional information.
The TempZone™ heating cable consists of a copper alloy resistance-heating element insulated with a
fluoropolymer having high dielectric strength and the ability to withstand high temperatures to ensure safety.
The core is surrounded by a copper metal screening, which provides additional mechanical strength and a
ground path. A foil shield surrounds the copper ground to virtually eliminate EMF. An outer fluoropolymer
jacket strengthens the cable and protects against corrosion.
1.2 Selection of TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable
The TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable is available in either 120V or 240V and a range of lengths to meet the
requirements of each installation. To determine the appropriate product for your installation, refer to the
“Installation and Spacing Recommendations” chart below, and then consult either the “Product Selection
Guide--120V” or “Product Selection Guide--240V” in section 9.
WarmlyYours TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable can be installed at 3- or 4-inch intervals to meet the needs of
any installation. To determine which spacing works best for your installation, consider the following:
