10. Surface Application
For Concrete Applications: Proceed with applying
concrete. Ensure that the concrete covers the entire
heating element and the connection between the heating
cable and cold leads. Great care should be taken to not damage
the heating cables by impacting, cutting or other abuse.
For Asphalt Applications: Heatizon Systems heating cable is of
high quality and durable construction. As a result, it can tolerate
the heat and compression of newly poured asphalt with some
modification. The heating cables can tolerate 464°F(240°C) for
30 minutes. For single pour asphalt, cover the heating element
with 1/2” of substrate material prior to installing asphalt per
the directions below. For both single and two pour asphalt
installations place a layer of asphalt at least 1/2 inch thick over the
cables by hand, and roll with a roller of approximately 1.5 ton size. This will protect the heating
cables from damage by tools or paving equipment and will protect the cable from heat during
placement of the main pour. Continuously check the insulation resistance of the heating cables
to verify that the cables are not damaged during placement of the asphalt. Continue with the
main pour.
For Paver Applications: Proceed with the installation by covering
the heating cable with a layer of sand or stone dust. Ensure that
the sand or stone dust covers the entire heating element and
the connection between the heating element and cold leads
before the pavers are installed. Great care should be taken to
not damage the heating cables by impacting, cutting or other
abuse.
For Stone or Tile with Mortar
Applications: Cover the heating cable
with mortar to completely embed
them and allow it to set. Allowing the
first layer of mortar to set will protect
the heating cables during the final
installation and the setting bed for
stone or tile. Install the Stone or Tile
and keep note that the final cable
depth of the cable from the surface
should be 2”. Great care should be taken to not damage the heating
cables by impacting, cutting or other abuse.
