1. We suggest you meet with the general contractor
and follow this checklist:
q Review the AlumiPex Trade Guides with the
general contractor and ask him to provide the
information and copies to each of the trades
involved.
q Verify that the flooring system is rated by the
flooring manufacturer for use with heated floors.
q Verify architectural details affected by the
flooring system. Verify that the building designer
has allowed for the following:
The rough openings for doors and windows
allow for the height of the flooring system.
Stair risers include allowance for the height
of the flooring system.
q Ensure that the tubing will be stored inside until
time for use.
AlumiPex is specially designed to protect the
tubing from damaging ultraviolet rays.
However, avoid exposing the tubing to direct
sunlight for extremely long periods.
Do not install AlumiPex tubing in
applications which will continuously expose
the tubing to direct sunlight.
q Discuss the tube layout drawing with the general
contractor and verify:
floor plan design has not been changed.
finished floorings (and coverings) shown by
heating system designer are correct per final
design.
C. Meet with General Contractor
q If the tubing passes under any interior walls, you
should mark these locations on the framing
above.
Ask the general contractor to notify other
trades to watch for these markings to ensure
tubing will not be damaged by fasteners.
q If the tubing passes through stud walls, the
framing carpenters should apply nail stops on
both sides of the stud at these locations.
Ask the general contractor to notify other
trades to watch for these locations to ensure
tubing will not be damaged by fasteners.
q A copy of the tube layout drawing should be
given to the general contractor to ensure a
trouble-free installation.
You will probably want to provide a final
copy after the installation is complete.
The final copy should show special
notations, any changes from the original
plan, and locations of any repairs.
