SunTouch TapeMat Installation Manual
STEP 4.9
Feed the sensor wire through the sensor conduit, leaving
at least 6"-8" of free lead length at the control electrical
box. Weave the sensor at least 1' into the mat area halfway,
between the heating wires, and secure it using hot glue. Do
not cross the heating wires. It may be necessary to chisel a
small section of the subfloor to accommodate the sensor,
depending on the thin-set thickness being used.
