ART 2 - JOB-SITE PREPARATION
PREPARATION
Before work can proceed, all plumbing and electrical wiring that will
not be accessible after installation of the heating system must be com-
pleted. This may require coordinating with the electrical and/or plumb-
ing contractor(s).
Make sure that insulation has been installed in areas that will be inac-
cessible after installation of the heating system. This may require coor-
dinating with the insulation contractor.
Before installing the Calorique Warm Floors System, all of the follow-
ing must be available at the job-site.
