Step 2: Orient the QuickNet floor heating mat
Lay out the mat according to your design, using as few
turns as possible and ensuring that the cold lead is near
the electrical junction box. Remove the clear plastic lining
and roll out the mat with the adhesive side down to
temporarily hold it in place. See Figure 4. If it is necessary
to change direction, see step 3.
Note: When installing a 240 V QuickNet mat with an
Extension mat to accommodate a floor over 100 ft
the mats so that the red mesh is edge to edge, the heating
cable spacing is no less than 3 inches, and both cold leads
can reach the electrical junction box. See Figure 6.
