Installation and Operation SECTION 5
5.5 Installation of TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable (Twin)
5.5.1 Install TempZone™ Cable Fixing Strips
Install Cable Fixing Strips in a direction perpendicular to the direction the cable will run. Cable Fixing Strips should be
installed at least 3 inches from the wall perimeter. WarmlyYours recommends securing the cable to the floor every 20
inches using tape or hot glue to keep the cable in position until the self-leveling underlayment is applied. When working
around cabinets or vanities, install the Cable Fixing Strips at a distance that will allow the cable to be installed 1-1/2 inches
away from the cabinet or vanity base.
Each row of Cable Fixing Strips should be positioned at the appropriate intervals to ensure the desired OC spacing (3 or 4
inches) for the installation.
Secure the Cable Fixing Strips to the floor. There are several acceptable methods for doing so.
For plywood, cement board, or similar surfaces:
• Secure Cable Fixing Strip with galvanized nails or screws.
For concrete or similar surfaces:
• Concrete nails are recommended for best results.
• Double-sided tape, hot glue, or a strong spray adhesive may be used if the floor is thoroughly cleaned and the Cable
Fixing Strips are cleaned to remove any oils.
• If spray adhesive is used, be sure to carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions. WarmlyYours recommends
applying the spray adhesive to both the back of the Cable Fixing Strip and the floor.
