Schluter - DITRA-HEAT-E-HK Electric Radiant Floor Heating Cable 120V 141.1' (43.1 sqft)

Schluter heating cables. The right piece to finish your installation.

Schluter-DITRA-HEAT-E-HK are twisted pair heating cables designed for integration with the DITRA-HEAT uncoupling membrane in interior floor warming applications. Important tips on selecting Schluter-DITRA-HEAT heating cables: Don't buy heating cables to do the entire tiled area: it will be too much! Very important: NEVER CUT OR MODIFY the heating cable.

This will change the resistance of the cable and could damage it and cause it to overheat. The cable can also be laid out in alternating intervals of three, then two spikes, in certain areas or for the entire floor.

This practice may be used to increase heating capacity (e.g., on uninsulated or below-grade concrete subfloors) or to use a longer cable in a given area (e.g., when the three-spike arrangement does not meet the minimum spacing from walls, partitions, etc.). Four studs apart is not recommended as it may result in uneven temperature. Minimum distance from walls, partitions and fixed cabinets: 2" (50 mm).

Minimum distance from heat sources (baseboard heaters, fireplaces, forced-air heating systems, etc.): 8" (200 mm). Minimum distance from drain and forced air ducts: 4" (100 mm). Minimum distance from centerline of toilet drains: 7" (180 mm). NEVER install heating cables under vanities with no air space underneath, bathtub platforms and freestanding bathtubs with no air space underneath, or
