Thick Floor Coverings (greater than 3/8" (10 mm))
If a thick floor covering is to be installed directly to the subfloor, a groove /8" (4 mm) wide
by /6" (2 mm) deep can be cut into the back of the flooring material to accommodate
the wire for the sensor. Ensure that the sensor is located in such a position that the
attached wire is able to reach to a suitable junction location.
Splices under the floor covering should be avoided
to ensure trouble free operation. A groove 3/6"
(5 mm) wide by 3/6" (5 mm) deep by -3/4" (45
mm) long should be cut to accommodate the
sensor. The sensor should be located mid way
between the heating elements to ensure a proper
temperature reading.
Thin-Set or Thin-Pour Applications
If the floor covering is to be installed over either a thin-set or thin-pour material of
sufficient depth, the floor sensor can be placed directly into either the thin-set material
or the thin-pour material and covered over.
Ensure that the sensor is located in such a
position that the attached wire is able to reach
to a suitable junction location. Splices within the
thin-set or thin-pour should be avoided to ensure
trouble free operation. The sensor should be
located mid way between the heating elements
to ensure a proper temperature reading.

Thin Floor Coverings (less than 3/8" (10 mm))
If a thin floor covering is to be installed directly to the subfloor, a groove /8” (4 mm)
wide by /6” (2 mm) deep can be cut into the surface of the subfloor to accommodate
the wire for the sensor. Ensure that the sensor is
located in such a position that the attached wire
is able to reach to a suitable junction location.
Splices under the floor covering should be avoided
to ensure trouble free operation. A groove 3/6"
(5 mm) wide by 3/6" (5 mm) deep by -3/4"
(45 mm) long should be cut to accommodate
the sensor. The sensor should be located mid
way between the heating elements to ensure
a proper temperature reading.
