RADIANT PANEL SYSTEM® PLANNING & INSTALLATION MANUAL (rev) ROTH HEATING SYSTEMS 5A. INTRODUCTION The Roth Radiant Panel System® was developed for the wood frame houses of the North American and Scandinavian markets. It was designed for easy installation over any new or existing sub-floor, wood or concrete, and for use with many different floor coverings, such as carpet, tile or hardwood. This is done without the structural changes needed to accommodate the additional load of lightweight concrete and with minimal effects to the finished floor height. It is ideal for retrofit systems, but it’s also great for new construction when you don’t want the weight, expense or water problems of lightweight concrete. The efficient design of the system, heavy gauge, full-face aluminum sheet on top and EPS insulating foam on the bottom, focuses the heat exactly where you want it – directly under the finished floor – so that the system can run at the lowest temperature possible. The quick recovery time makes this system one of the few times that temperature setback makes sense in radiant floor heating. These are just some of the advantages you will receive from the intelligent design and high quality of the Roth Radiant Panel System®. 5A. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5A.1 Planning Roth Radiant Panel Systems® can be installed on all types of sub-floors, which comply with the current building regulations for load-bearing structures. If the system is going to be installed upon an existing surface material (e.g. vinyl mat, ceramic tiles, etc.), it must be approved by the flooring contractor. The floor panel system has a normal operating range of 60-140°F (15-60°C), depending on the radiant heating system design and finished floor material. Underlayment, vapor barriers, waterproof membranes, etc. should be selected with the actual operating temperatures in mind. Be sure to discuss the design parameters with the flooring contractor prior to installation. Before starting the installation, you need to plan your loop layout and manifold locations. We also recommend installing tubing in every track to achieve the best heat distribution. Try to plan the pattern so that the Master Panels are aligned to allow the loop supply to run along the outer wall. If installing a wood floor over the panel, align the panel so the loops are running in the opposite direction of the wood flooring material. In wet areas, such as bathrooms, etc., where a water-tight layer is requested, the membrane should be installed above the panel system. Always coordinate these installations with the flooring contractor. 5A.2 Delivery Content The Roth Radiant Panel System® is delivered in one box consisting of: Master Panels, 10 pcs., 24" x 48" PLEASE NOTE: Panel System for .” tubing is .” thick. Panel System for .” tubing is 1” thick. Radius Panels, 3 pcs., 16" x 24" Each panel is perforated and can easily be snapped into 2 pieces (total of 6 pieces). Transition Panels, 3 pcs. 16" x 24" Each panel is perforated and can easily be snapped into 4 pieces (total of 12 pieces). 5A1 5A. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5A.3 Installation of the Panel The sub-floor must be smooth, clean and level. Surface irregularities should not exceed more than 0.02" per foot. The Roth Radiant Panel System® should be secured to the subfloor with countersunk screws or a foam board compatible adhesive. Apply the adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Start the installation by laying the radius panel first. If you need an extra track you can start with a transition panel. A strip of plywood can be installed on the perimeter for tack strip when carpet is the finished floor material. It is important to plan the installation in advance to be sure that you have the correct number of tracks when installing the tubing. Transition and radius panels can be installed upside down as filler pieces. When securing the panels to a wood subfloor, we recommend using at least eight (8) countersunk screws spaced 12” (30 cm) apart and 6” (15 cm) from the edges. When installing over concrete, you can use countersunk concrete fasteners in the same pattern. Be aware that floor conditions may require use of additional fasteners. The panels can also be secured with latex base adhesives compatible with foam board products. These are applied with either a caulking gun or notched trowel. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application. Curing time can vary widely between brands of adhesive and with the temperature and humidity conditions at the time of installation. 5A 2 5A. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Continue to lay the master panels. When cutting the master panels, mark the plate and saw it with EPS side up. You can use any saw with a fine-toothed metal blade. After cutting the panel, remove any burrs. When cutting the last master panel in the first row, use the rest of the panel to start the next row. This will provide staggered joints for the field panels. After completion of the panel installation i...
