It is important to select the proper sized mat for the given area.
Mat cannot be cut shorter in order to fit a given area. Doing so will
damage the heating wire and will prevent the system from working.
Phase 2: Preparations
Before installing SunTouch Mat, make sure to fully inspect the
products and carefully plan the site.
Items Needed
Materials:
- SunStat thermostat control with floor sensor. The SunStat is
listed separately from the Mat.
- 20-amp circuit breaker
- UL Listed electrical box (extra deep) for the control; single-
gang (not a gangable type) for one or two mats or 4"-square
deep box with a single-gang “mud ring” cover
- 4" junction box with a cover (if needed)
- Flexible or rigid UL Listed conduit (for new construction)
- 12-gauge or 14-gauge electrical wiring cable (consult local
code)
- Wire nuts if using an additional junction box
- Nail plate
Tools:
- Digital multi-meter for ohms testing; must read up to 20,000
ohms to measure sensor
- Drill with 1/2" & 3/4" bits
- Hammer and chisel
- Wire strippers
- Phillips screwdriver
- Fish tape
- Hole saw
- Floor covering installation tools
STEP 1.3
Make sure proper subfloor materials are selected in accordance
with the construction and floor covering requirements. Use of
a moisture barrier, an anti-fracture membrane, backerboard, or
other materials are recommended when installing tile or other
stone floor covering.
STEP 1.4
Pay careful attention to the total amps when selecting multiple
mats to make sure the controls, circuit breaker panel, and all
wiring have the proper capacity. Design circuit protection and
wiring to handle 125% of total amp load.
