Do’s & Don’ts
Do
Carefully read this instruction manual before starting your installation and
follow the testing procedure as detailed on page 6. Throughout your installation:
• Take some time to plan your cable layout considering all obstacles e.g. drain
covers, kitchen units, bathroom sinks etc.
• Ensure the floor sensor thermostat is inserted within the flexible tube
provided, with the floor end of the flexible tube properly sealed (to ensure
easy removal of the floor sensor after installation if required).
• Maintain a minimum of 50mm spacing between the heating element runs
at all times.
• Take care not to damage the heating cable and cold tail (power cable) whilst
screeding the floor area.
• Ensure all the yellow heating element is covered with the tile adhesive
or flexible self levelling compound.
• Ensure the floor surface is correctly prepared before installation (see page 4).
• Ensure the entire yellow heating element is installed within the floor.
• When using more than one eFlex from a single supply, cold tails must be
connected in parallel.
• When using foil faced insulation ensure all insulation joints are properly
taped to prevent the eFlex from slipping in-between insulation panels.
• Ensure the eFlex is evenly spaced across your complete free floor area.
Don’t
• Cut or shorten the yellow heating cable.
• Cross or touch the yellow heating cables together.
• Switch your under floor heating system on for a minimum of 7 days after
tiling to allow correct curing of tile adhesives and grouts.
• Connect the heating element to the power supply whilst still rolled up.
• Leave rolled up surplus cable under kitchen units or bath spaces.
• Commence installation of your floor surface before testing your eFlex. See page 7.
• Tile over damaged or twisted cables.
• Install heating cables closer than 50mm.
