EDGE SEALING TAPE
It is critical to seal any cut that is made to the gray
area of the Heating Film. The Edge Sealing Tape
comes in one length (42 inches), but in two
different widths, 4.8 inches wide and 2.4 inches
wide. The wider Edge Sealing Tape (4.8 inches
wide) is used to seal the edge of the Heating Film
to which the wiring Harness, or Adder is attached.
The narrower Edge Sealing Tape (2.4 inches wide)
is used to seal any cut edges where there is no
attached wiring Harness, Adder, or any other cuts (including holes cut in
between the copper bus bars) that have been made to the Heating Film during
the installation process. The Edge Sealing Tape is a highly-adhesive
fleece-backed butyl tape. The fleece backing that is the same as that used on
EverWarm Radiant Heat
Film, making the Edge Sealing Tape compatible with
all types of adhesives.
REMEMBER: THE EDGE SEALING TAPE MUST BE USED ON ANY GRAY EDGE,
OR GRAY AREA OF THE HEATING FILM THAT HAS BEEN CUT.
THERMOSTATS
EverWarm Radiant Heat
offers a variety of direct line voltage thermostats in
both programmable and non-programmable models. All
EverWarm Radiant
Heat
thermostats in the United States are GFCI-protected (required by the
NEC). Each thermostat includes a floor sensor, which
EverWarm Radiant
Heat
requires for each installation. Each thermostat senses both ambient air
and floor temperatures, enabling installers to set the floor temperature to the
flooring manufacturer’s desired set point, along with maximizing the potential
comfort of the room’s environment. The maximum load allowed on a standard
thermostat is 15 amps. The maximum amount of total Heating Film allowable
per circuit translates to the following:
110-120VAC: 31.25 LINEAR FT = 100 FT
2
PER ZONE (1 THERMOSTAT)
220-240VAC: 62.5 LINEAR FT = 200 FT
2
PER ZONE (1 THERMOSTAT)
Installations that require a larger amount of Heating Film per thermostat (over
200 square feet per zone) will require the use of a “master” thermostat that
controls a “slave” power unit. Up to 2000 square feet of Heating Film can be
installed and combined using 10 slave units. Up to 10 Slave Units can be
controlled by one Master Thermostat.
