NEVER install the factory splice (i.e., black plastic junction between the cold lead and gray heating cable) in the wall.NEVER install the heating cable under or through a wall, partition, or through a floor.Excessive heat will build up in these confined spaces and may cause cable overheating. NEVER install the heating cable under vanities with no air space beneath, bathtub platforms, free standing bathtubs with no air space beneath, kitchen cabinets and islands, any other fixtures in storage or clothing closets.Minimum spacing from centerline of toilet drains is 7" (180 mm).Minimum spacing from any plumbing drain and forced air heating duct is 4" (100 mm).Minimum spacing from other heat sources (baseboard heaters, other fixed heating devices, fireplaces, etc.) is 8" (200 mm).Minimum spacing from walls, partitions, and fixed cabinets is 2" (50 mm).A cable spacing of 4 studs is not recommended, as it can produce inconsistent floor surface temperatures.This practice may be desirable to increase heat output (e.g., over uninsulated on or below grade concrete subfloors) or to consume more cable length in a given area (e.g., when using the standard 3 stud spacing doesn’t allow the selected cable to fit the floor area and respect minimum spacing requirements from walls, partitions, etc.) Cable may also be spaced at continuously alternating 3 stud – 2 stud intervals in isolated areas or over the entire floor.A cable spacing of 3 studs is standard.This would change the cable resistance, will cause damage to the cable, and could cause cable overheating. Very important: Never CUT or modify the heating cable in any way.Do not purchase a heating cable that is the same size as the area to be tiled you will be left with too much heating cable!.IMPORTANT Ordering Information for Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT Cables
