DHEHK240204 - 203.8 ft² (673.8') 240V - Schluter DITRA-HEAT-E-HK Electric floor heating cable

Description

Schluter-DITRA-HEAT-E-HK are twisted pair heating cables designed to integrate with the DITRA-HEAT uncoupling membrane in interior heated floors. Important advice on the selection of Schluter-DITRA-HEAT heating cables: Do not buy heating cables to cover the entire tiled surface: it will be too much! Very important: NEVER CUT OR MODIFY the heating cable. This would change its resistance and could damage it and lead to overheating. The cable can also be arranged alternately at intervals of three, then two studs, in certain areas or for the entire floor. This practice can be used to increase the heating power (e.g. on uninsulated or concrete subfloors below ground level) or to use a longer cable in a given area (e.g. when the layout 3 cleats apart does not meet minimum spacing from walls, partitions, etc.) A 4 cleats spaced arrangement 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 (electric baseboards, fireplaces, forced air heating systems, etc.): 8" (200 mm). Minimum distance from waste drains and forced air ducts: 4" (100 mm). Minimum distance from centerline of toilet drains: 7" (180 mm). NEVER lay heating cables under vanities with no air gap below, bath platforms and freestanding tubs with no air gap below, or in kitchen cabinets and islands and other fittings, not more so than in small storage or clothes closets where the floor covering can continue. Excessive heat will build up in such enclosed spaces, which could cause overheating. NEVER run the heating cable under or through a wall, partition or through a floor. NEVER install the connector (black plastic piece to make the junction of the cold wire and the gray heating cable) in a wall, as this could cause overheating, system failure or damage. The fitting must be completely recessed under the floor covering, as explained in the heating cable installation instructions. It is useful to provide a buffer zone, because it is not possible to predict exactly where the heating cable will end. The buffer zone is a section where heating is not essential and which is not intended to accommodate cables, e.g. ex. behind a toilet or near a door opening. This area hides excess heating cable. Heating cables can also be laid 6" (150 mm) from walls to create the buffer zone. Testing of the heating cable should be performed while it is still in its spool, as well as at two other subsequent stages during installation. installation, to ensure the quality of the cable and for warranty purposes. A megohmmeter is required to perform the insulation resistance test of heating cables. It is strongly recommended to perform the insulation resistance test. Please consult a qualified electrician before ordering DITRA-HEAT heating cables to select cables of the correct voltage for your installation.

• The cables are inserted into the membrane, without fasteners
• It is not necessary to cover the cables with a self-leveler, which greatly speeds up the installation
• Land without returning to the thermostat
• Produce practically zero electromagnetic fields
• 120V and 240V cables of various lengths available
• Provides electric floor warming for use under tile, stone or other resilient floor coverings (e.g. LVT)
