Radiant Floor Heat Pkgs. for Framed Sub-Floors:

 

 

Radiant Floor Heat Pkgs. for Framed Sub-Floors - Designed for areas that can be controlled by (1) thermostat  or multiple pkgs. can be combined to create a multiple zone radiant system for homes, offices, etc. (see "Zone Pump Controllers", at bottom of page).   Square footage estimate is based on 8" tubing spacing, which allows 2 tubing lines to be installed per 16" joist cavity.  The tubing can be installed either sub-floor or above the floor, just add the appropriate tubing installation supplies applicable to your installation (See "Tubing Installation Supplies" below).  Heat Source, expansion tank, thermostatic mixing valve, tubing installation supplies and std. piping/fittings between the heat source and manifold are not included, see Additional Components and Tubing Installation Supplies, below.

Tubing Installation Supplies - The HRMVS0xPSC packages do not include tubing clamps or heat transfer plates.  Order the appropriate type and quantity of tubing installation supplies applicable to your specific installation.  Click on part number link for more information.

CLJ3 J-Clamps - snap over the tubing and include an attached nail for quick installation.  Recommended for securing the tubing between the manifold and the heated area with 32" spacing, or less.  Also used to secure the tubing to the sub-floor when heat transfer plates are not used.  Available in a 100 pack (CLJ3MV100).

CLE3 Economy Clamps - Also known as Strap Clamps, Economy Clamps fit around the tubing and install with screws or nails (not included).  Recommended for installing tubing over existing concrete (using a RAM-SET with washered fasteners) and for other areas where screw-in installation is desired for easy relocation or removal.  Recommended spacing is 32"or less.  Available in a 100 pack (CLE3).

HRTP3 Heat Transfer Plates - 4-1/4" wide x 20" long with a 3/4" round channel for 1/2" tubing, these galvanized plates install over the tubing in the joist cavity.  They heat up with the tubing and dramatically increase the direct heat transfer to the floor, resulting in quicker heat-up and minimizing "cold-spots".  Install heat transfer plates 1" to 5" apart (end-to-end) over the tubing along the entire joist cavity starting 12" from both ends (to allow for a 5" radius tubing loop at the end of the joist cavity).  Available in boxes of 100 (HRTP3a).  Note:  Heat Transfer Plates replace tubing clamps within the joist cavity, however you will still need tubing clamps to secure the tubing between the heated area and the manifold.  Heat Transfer Plate Info

 

Upgrades: 

24 Volt Thermostat Upgrade - HRTH24V(upgrade) Sale $3.92   includes (1) HRTH24V  24 Volt Thermostat (replaces HRTH110V line voltage thermostat).  This upgrade is required for multiple zone systems that use a zone pump controller.  Order (1) HRTH24V(upgrade) per radiant package (also order the appropriate zone pump controller based on the total number of zones, see Zone Pump Controllers below).

 

 

Additional HRH Package Upgrades

 

 

Additional Components:

Expansion Tank - Expansion tanks with auto-fill valves are recommended for all closed HRFH systems.  Use HRMVSFT109 for systems with heat sources up to 50,000 BTU's, HRMVSFT110 for systems from 50,000 to 100,000 BTU's and HRMVSFT111 for systems over 100,000 BTU's.  Standard expansion tanks (without auto-fill valves) can be used for closed systems which have the auto-fill valve installed on another component.  Use HRMVSEX15 for systems with heat sources up to 50,000 BTU's and HRMVSEX30 for systems from 50,000 to 100,000 BTU's. 

Thermostatic Mixing Valve - (HRTV4, HRTH4th, HRTV5 or HRTV5th) is required on HRFH systems if the heat source cannot supply the lower temperature supply water needed for floor heat (typically 90 F to 125 F).  The TMV is a manually set valve installed between the main manifold supply and return lines that blends return loop water with supply water to maintain the desired supply water temperature (almost ALL HRFH zones require a TMV). 

Pressure Test Kit - (MVSPTKCM) includes air valve w/cap, 100 PSI air gauge (2.0") and pipe fittings with 1" MPT adapter to connect directly to the ProRadiant SS manifold inlet ball valve for pressure testing.

 

 

 

Zone Pump Controllers are used to combine multiple radiant floor heat pkgs for creating a multiple zone system for homes, offices, etc.   A Zone Pump Controller (HRCP431S, HRCP432, HRCP433, HRCP434, and HRCP436) is the brain of radiant systems that controls 2, 3, 4 or 6 zones (the last digit in the zone pump controller part number is the number of zones).  When one of the zone thermostats calls for heat, the zone controller starts the zone pump and sends a control signal to start the heat source.

 

After selecting the appropriate HRFH pkgs. for all the zones of your multiple zone HRFH system, select the appropriate zone pump controller and add (1) HRTH24V(upgrade) (24 volt thermostat upgrade) per zone (zone pump controllers require 24 volt thermostats instead of the 110 volt thermostats included in the std. HRFH pkgs).  

For example:  A four zone HRFH system for a home (two 575 feet zones and two 380 feet zones, @ 8" tubing spacing) requires:

(2) HRMVS03PSC HRFH pkgs.

(2) HRMVS02PSC HRFH pkgs.

(1) HRCP434  4-Zone Pump Controller

(4) HRTH24V(upgrade) 24 Volt Thermostat Upgrade

(plus tubing installation supplies, expansion tank, thermostatic mixing valves, heat source, main supply/return piping between the heat source and the manifolds, etc., as described above).

Note:  Even though HRFH systems are very easy to install, we recommend installation by licensed, experienced professional installers.  HRFH systems require electrical wiring, which must be comply with the NEC and other local electrical codes, if applicable.  All electrical wiring must be preformed by a licensed electrician.
