Submittal Sheet

SunTouch TapeMats are a series resistance heating cable assembly installed
over plywood, backer board, or concrete slab (according to ANSI or TCNA
guidelines), and then embedded in 3/8" (9.5 mm) or greater self-leveling or
polymer-modied thin-set mortar.

120 and 240 Voltages
SunTouch TapeMats are available in various lengths with voltage options
of 120 or 240 VAC.
• Measure and certify the correct wire resistance (ohms) value for the
heating cables, record these readings in the chart provided in the
installation manual.
• Use of manufacturer’s alarm meter (LoudMouth
™
meter) is
recommended during installation.
• Clean the suboor.
• Lay out and secure SunTouch TapeMat to the oor.
