Any modification changes its resistance, can damage it and cause overheating.\n- It is possible to lay the cable by alternating spacings of three then two clips in certain areas or across the whole floor to increase output (e.g. over an uninsulated subfloor or concrete) or to use a longer cable when a three-clip spacing prevents meeting minimum distances to walls and partitions.\n- A four-clip spacing is not recommended, as it may lead to uneven heating.\n- Respect the following minimum distances: from walls, partitions and fixed cabinets 2\" (50 mm); from heat sources (electric baseboards, fireplaces, forced-air heating systems, etc.) 8\" (200 mm); from floor drains and forced-air ducts 4\" (100 mm); from the centre line of toilet drains 7\" (180 mm).\n- NEVER install cable under vanities without air gap, under bathtub platforms or freestanding bathtubs without air gap, nor inside cabinets, islands, small storage spaces or closets where the floor covering continues: these enclosed spaces can cause overheating.\n- NEVER run the cable under or inside a wall, partition or through a floor.\n- NEVER place the splice (the black plastic piece joining the cold lead to the grey cable) in a wall; it must be completely embedded under the floor covering, in accordance with the installation instructions.\n- Provide a buffer zone — e.g. behind a toilet or near a door — to hide excess cable and avoid heating a non-essential area. Cables may also be laid 6\" (150 mm) from walls to create this buffer zone.\n- Test the cable while still on its spool and at two additional stages during installation to verify its integrity and protect the warranty. A megohmmeter is required to test insulation resistance; its use is strongly recommended.\n- Consult a qualified electrician before ordering DITRA-HEAT cables to choose the correct voltage for your installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52884600783166,"sku":"DHEHK240183","price":1024.68,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/1976\/5566\/files\/emard-Emard-DHEHK240183.jpg?v=1768494288","url":"https:\/\/www.emardcp.com\/en\/products\/schluter-ditra-heat-e-hk-cble-de-plancher-chauffant-lectrique-240v-6059-1833-pi-dhehk240183","provider":"Emard Couvre-Planchers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
