PEX Radiant Heat Transfer Plates are used with joist space installation method to enhance heat transfer.
Uses 1/2 Inch HousePEX PEX-A or PEX-C (Or any NSF Certified PEX Pipe) for convenient installation.
Plates are 4 1/2" wide by 24" long and .016 inches thick.
When installing HousePEX, Heatlink or Safelink's Mr. PEX tubing under the floor with
heat transfer plates you should install the PEX 8 inches on center.
PEX Heat Transfer Plates should be kept as straight as possible so as the PEX expands it will be
able to slide quietly.
We suggest you use a chalk line to help line up the plates straight. You should place
the plates as close together as possible and
at the ends where the PEX curves back to the next line of PEX heat transfer plates
we suggest that you support the curve at both ends with a piece of wood between
the joists. The wood should have rounded edges and support the PEX as close as
possible to the sub floor as you can without having it bind in any way. Doing
this should allow the PEX to move at both ends assuring as quiet an installation
as possible. Talon clamps are used also in conjunction with PEX heat transfer plates
for under floor radiant installations to help hold the PEX neatly to and from
the PEX manifold.
