1.1 Product Specifications and Details

Radiant floor heating systems are uniquely designed for use as primary or supplemental heat sources in residential or light

commercial applications for use under tile, stone, hardwood, engineered hardwood, carpet (approved for U.S. use only),

and laminate flooring.

The TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable (Twin) is composed of a twin-conductor cable and a cold lead of 15 feet for connection

to a power source. The heating cable delivers 3 watts/linear foot. Wattage per square foot depends on the installation. Refer

to the “Product Selection Guide--120V” or “Product Selection Guide--240V” in section 9 for additional information.

The TempZone™ heating cable consists of a copper alloy resistance-heating element insulated with a fluoropolymer

having high dielectric strength and the ability to withstand high temperatures to ensure safety. The core is surrounded by a

copper metal screening, which provides additional mechanical strength and a ground path. An outer fluoropolymer jacket

strengthens the cable and protects against corrosion.

1.2 Selection of TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable (Twin)

The TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable (Twin) is available in either 120V or 240V and a range of lengths to meet the

requirements of each installation. To determine the appropriate product for your installation, refer to the “Installation
