Step 1: Plan your layout and determine the cable direction. Measure about 3" in. inches from the wall, and place strap parallel to the wall. Under toe kick spaces, install the strap 1.5"in. inches to 2" in. inches away from the vanity.
|
Step 2: Cut the strap to length for each side of area to be heated.
|
 |
 |
|
Step 3: Secure the strap to the subfloor using double-sided tape, glue, or fasteners.
|
Step 4: Fill in each section back and forth with cable, spacing the wire 2.5" or 3" in. inches apart. For additional areas, cut and attach the straps accordingly and begin weaving the wire into that area.

Important: If cables are running greater than 3' or 4'ft. feet across a room, be sure to add another strap to thread through in the center of the area to be heated. |

One very important step is to use a deep remodel box for the thermostat, the amount of wires that go into the box can make the thermostat malfunction.
Thank you
