The complimentary Installation Plan provided by the
WarmlyYours team is very important. It shows the
recommended placement of your Heating Roll(s) for
safety and optimal efficiency. The plan will also serve
as the reference for any future inspections or floor work
that needs to be performed.
The Heating Element of the WarmlyYours product is
sewn in a serpentine pattern onto lengths of Fiberglass
Mesh forming a roll. It is quick and simple to cover large
areas.
Your plan shows you where any modification is
necessary. These are all easily done by cutting through
the Fiberglass Mesh material (NOT the Heating
Element), see Photo A , so that the roll is in two or more,
moveable -but connected- pieces which are called
“Panels”, see Photo B. These panels can be angled,
turned or completely flipped over in order to cover the
space.
To cover very small or odd shaped areas, the Heating
Element is used in “Free Form”. A section of the
Fiberglass Mesh is removed in order to release an
appropriate length of Heating Element to fill the space.
This “free” wire is placed in areas not reached by the
main Heating Elements of the panels. It is also used to
make “step turns” possible. Always maintain 3” spacing
in all free form and step turns.
To release the required amount of Heating Element for
a free form area, first make the two straight cuts and
then carefully remove it.
Cut & Turn
By cutting only the Mesh (see Photo A), you can move
the remaining section of the Heating Roll in a new
direction. By doing this, you are creating what are now
referred to as “panels.” (see Photo B). This is the first
step in any turn or alteration of the Heating Roll(s). A
turn is indicated on the Installation Plan by an arc with
an arrowhead. By examining the relationship between
two panels, you will determine the type of turn needed.
Free Form
Free form spaces are filled with loose lengths of Heating
Element. A wavy line with an arrow will appear on the
Installation Plan to indicate the area that needs to be
filled. This symbol is accompanied by a unit of measure
in a circle that will indicate the amount of Fiberglass
Mesh to be removed. (See Page 6, on Installation
Plan.) Once the tape is trimmed, the Heating Element
separated and the Fiberglass Mesh removed, position
the Heating Element by hand and secure it to the floor
with Hot Glue or Tape. Try to maintain the 3 inch spacing
similar to the spacing on the Heating Roll(s).
Installation Recommendations
The space heating cable shall not extend beyond the
room or area in which it originates.
The space heating cable is not installed in closets,
over walls or partitions that extend to the ceiling, or
over cabinets whose clearance from the ceiling is less
than the minimum horizontal dimension of the nearest
cabinet edge that is open to the room or area.
Isolated single runs of cable may pass over partitions
where they are embedded.
The cable is not to be installed in walls.
The minimum distance between adjacent runs shall be 2 in.
Inspect and remove damaged or defective cables
before they are covered or concealed.
Mark the appropriate circuit breaker reference label
indicating which branch circuit supplies the circuits to
those electric space heating cables.
Minimum installation temperature for the wire is 5ºF
(-15ºC). See Adhesive instructions for recommended
minimum installation temperature.
For best results, we recommend a 1”- 1.5” maximum
distance between the heating cable and the top of the
tile.
