STEP 4.17
Fill in with cable, adjusting spacing as necessary
to fill in as much of the area as possible.
Bench Seat
STEP 4.18
If covering a bench seat or step area (not in
a shower area), place a single run of cable
up the riser. Use CableStrap to secure the
cable to the seat area at the desired spacing,
then install a single run down the riser. Use
an "s-shaped" curve to avoid sharp bends
in the cable at corners and help the cable
to lay flat. Again, the cable on the riser and
seat area MUST be fully embedded in mortar
and have approved floor coverings. Use hot
glue where necessary to secure the cable
flat against the riser.
Corner shower or vanity using CableStrap
STEP 4.14
For an angled area, such as a corner shower,
lay CableStrap at an angle and adjust tab
spacing to keep the wire spacing consistent.
Maintain a minimum of 3" distance between
the shower curb and wire.
Door entryway using CableStrap
STEP 4.16
For an entryway or other small area where
warmth is required, cut small sections of
strap to fit the ends of that area. Keep wire
3" away from the framing.
STEP 4.12
To secure long lengths of heating cable,
place additional, short lengths of the strap at
3–4-ft. intervals. Spray the back of the strap
with a high-tack adhesive, and slide the strap,
upside down, under the cables. Turn the strap
over when it is positioned and adhere to the
floor. Press the tabs down over the cables.
If a spray adhesive was not used, carefully
secure these short lengths of strap to the
floor without damaging the cable.
Install second cable
STEP 4.13
If a second cable is to be installed in the
area, all power leads must come back to
the control, or to a junction box and then to
the control. NEVER run power leads across
heating cables, under baseboard areas, or
other potentially damaging areas. Never join
two cables in series.
Other Installations
Because many different room shapes and floor
obstructions may be encountered in any given
installation, additional layouts are provided
below to assist in determining the best way to
complete installations in odd-shaped areas.
STEP 4.15
Fill in the section with cable. Make sure that
the cables are spaced evenly and parallel to
one another.
