IMPORTANT:
The Electrical Schedule details Electrical Loadings, Thermostat Types and any other accessories such as Contactors or Time Switches included in the quotation. 
Please refer to Thermostat Specification.

The Electrical Schedule/s together with this sheet must be passed on to your Electrical Contractor and all other relevant Trades, before you accept any quotation. This will enable them to furnish you with quotations for any additional work which will be required. Failure to do so may result in extra costs being incurred by you.

General

Any deviflex™ quotation is based on the following:

  1. The heating cables are designed to be installed on to L72/L82/L92Heating cables appearing in a cross section diagram above steel mesh (F72-F92) steel mesh.

  2. If rods or steel bars are used instead, a light gauge/roof safety mesh must be laid within the areas to be heated. This is required to ensure correct support and spacing of the heating cables.

    No allowance has been made for supply or installation of any mesh, a price can be supplied if requested.

  3. Floorheat (Australia) (hereafter referred to as FHA) will test the heating cables before, during and after fixing. FHA will also monitor the cables during the concrete pour for severe damage i.e. should the cable be cut.

Important - Please Note!

  • FHA will leave each set of 'cold tails' protruding from a 20mm conduit, if more than one heating element is installed per zone, a separate conduit will be provided for each element. It is the responsibility of the Site Electrical Contractor to extend these conduits to the connection point.
Cold tails installed with extra conduit & sensor probe Notice that for each set of Cold Tails (each heating element) an extra conduit has been installed. Also note that the sensor probe conduit is installed between a cable loop.
  • FHA will position the 'cold tails' at the agreed thermostat locations. If preferred Thermostat locations are not received prior to installation, FHA will position the cold tails at their discretion. If any re-location of the cold tails is required, this will be done on a 'do and charge' basis. A written work order is required prior to commencement of any re-positioning.

  • FHA have Included in the quoted price the design, supply and installation/fixing of the deviflex™ Heating Cables only. All Thermostats, Contactors or Time Switches quoted, will be supplied only, it is the responsibility of the Site Electrical Contractor to install and connect them.

  • Contactors are required for individual zones were the loads are greater then the current carrying capacity of the thermostat supplied. 

  • FHA will install a separate 16mm conduit into the slab, this is for the remote floor sensor probe (see next point). It is the responsibility of the Site Electrical Contractor to install a conduit from the thermostat/connection point to this conduit. For further information regarding the sensor probes see the Thermostat Specifications.

  • The Site Electrical Contractor must insert the sensor probe, (which is located in the Thermostat box) into the conduit. The sensor must then be connected to the Thermostat. This conduit must remain accessible for the future removal of the sensor probe, if required for servicing.

  • All heating systems must be connected to a 30 mA Residual Current Device.

Please ring 02 9997 2191 in order to arrange your preferred date for installation. Please give at least 10 to 15 working days notice where possible. Priority is given on a 'first in first served' basis.
