In a concrete application, you can
improve installation time by carefully
planning the placement of manifolds
and leaders. As shown above, the
leaders must run above the floor.
To save time, draw the Quik Trak
layout on a piece of paper before
you begin the installation.
1. Split the areas that will have panels
into even areas based on the
number of loops. The number
of loops can be determined by
using the Design Assistance
Sheet in Appendix B or your
Uponor ADS program.
2. Select the manifold location.
3. For 7" panels, draw a 28" square
in front of the manifold location.
The manifold location is the area
that will contain the tightly spaced
tubing running from the manifold
to the panels. This area may be
larger or smaller depending upon
the number of loops.
4. To begin the panel installation,
measure the distance from
the outside wall back to the
manifold wall. Divide by 0.583
to determine the number of panel
rows needed. Any remaining areas
less than the width of a panel can
be filled with
1
⁄2" plywood.
5. Place the panels that will be used
for the leaders. Do not fasten them
down at this time.
6. Place the Quik Trak and Return
Panels to determine the
overall placement.
When the panels are in place,
fasten the panels using only two
screws. This will allow for quick
adjustments if needed. Once the
layout has been completed, fasten
panels with 10 screws.
7. Fill in any small areas that do not
have panels with
1
⁄2" plywood.
8. When installing the tubing,
use staples or U-shaped tube
fasteners to hold the tubing down
in the area in front of the manifold.
9. After connecting the tubing to
the manifold and pressure testing
the system, fill in the square area
in front of the manifold using
1
⁄2" plywood (trimmed to fit) or
a cement product that is screed
to a level surface.
Note: A combination is also
possible. Fill the larger spaces
with
1
⁄2" plywood pieces and
smaller areas with a thinset
product. The type of finished
flooring will dictate what method
is appropriate.
