INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

Installation
Make sure installation area is fully cleared, flat even floor and surface free of irregularities. Coordinate with builder at shop drawing stage to identify all construction joints and saw cuts with
concrete floors. Mark all heated and non-heated areas and floor joints on the floor area.
Install the manifold straight at the designated position by firmly attaching it to the ground.
Underslab insulation, damp proof membrane, chairs and reinforcing mesh to be provided and
installed by main contractor.
Pipework Layout
Pipework to be cable tied to the concrete mesh. Lay pipes in a continuous length from the
manifold in the pre-designed configuration. REHAU fittings can be embedded into concrete if
agreed with designer. Fittings to be wrapped with PVC tape. Pipes start and finish at the
manifold position. Pipes must run to the corresponding port on the manifold. Do not cross
pipes over in the floor. Pipe depth in concrete should provide a minimum thickness of 45mm
above the crown of the pipework. Note the real pipe length of each circuit to adjust the
hydraulic balancing of the manifold. Mark the name of each circuit on the corresponding
manifold outlet.
All coils in floors shall be installed strictly in compliance with the requirements of the structural
engineer and in accordance with the recommendations of REHAU for concrete floor heating
applications. Piping shall be installed completely free of twists, warps or buckles.
Conduit Sleeving
Sleeve all flow pipes with REHAU conduit sleeving where the pipe enters and returns from
concrete for the first metre to REHAU requirements. Sleeve across construction joints in floor.
When installing pipe in door frames or through walls install a section of corrugated sleeving in
this area to allow free movement of the pipe.
Version: Mar-2012
Page: 5
Connection to main supply and return lines

Provide total flow rates and head losses for each manifold to the contractor of the main supply
and return lines to enable them to design pump sizes, pipe dimensions and all other
components required to render the system fully operational. The connection of the UFH/C
system to the main supply and return pipes is the duty of the mechanical contractor.
7.2
Filling and Pressure Testing

Pressure test the system with water before the slab is laid to ensure all joints are watertight
and no damage has occurred to the pipe during installation. In case of freezing conditions, add
antifreeze to avoid freezing of the water in the pipes. Make sure antifreeze is suitable for PEX
and brass materials. Allow for pressure testing of the underfloor heating pipe circuits to
600kPa. Lay the slab as soon as possible, in good contact to the pipes, without any
airpockets, after laying the pipe circuits and completion of a pressure test. Leave pipe circuits
under pressure until concrete is cured. Provide signed and witnessed pressure testing
protocol.
7.3
Initial Warm-Up
Allow the concrete to dry for 3 weeks. Balance the system via the valves on the manifold to
achieve an even flow and heat up. Start the warm-up procedure according with BS EN 1264
and REHAU requirements. Provide signed and witnessed warm-up protocol.
7.4
Commissioning
Ensure the complete central heating system, including main supply circulation pump and
radiators if present, is working. Based on the real pipe length noted during laying of the
pipework, adjust each circuit slowly via the valves on the manifold to ensure an even flow and
heat up is achieved (hydraulic balancing). Provide commissioning certificate.
Run the system for at least two weeks before the floor covering is finally laid. For floor
coverings use adhesive suitable for temperatures up to 40C.

REHAU tacker system

Tacker sheet:
Expanded polystyrene EPS insulation sheet laminated with a fabric reinforced foil made from
polyethylene to REHAU requirements. The water resistant foil prevents moisture and water
from the screed reaching the EPS floor insulation. One side foil overlap. A grid system is
printed onto the clear foil to aid correct pipe spacing at laying intervals of 50mm and multiples
thereof.
Thickness 25mm, grade SL (compressive strength 70 kPa acc AS 1366), R-value 0.6
For other Tacker sheet options check with REHAU for availability.
Pipe fixing staples:
Pipe fixing staples to fasten the pipe firmly to the Tacker sheet and to prevent the pipe from
floating. For pipe dimensions 16mm or 20mm.
REHAU Edge insulation strips:
To prevent sound and heat bridges. Made of closed cell polyethylene foam, with profiled wall,
a self-adhesive strip on back and foil flaps. The tear-proof foil flaps with self-adhesive film
base prevents moisture and water from the screed reaching the EPS floor insulation. Height
180mm, thickness 10mm, length 25m supplied in rolls.
REHAU Expansion joint profile:
To provide a thermal break between adjoining heated screeds and/or controlled zones and to
form permanently elastic joints between screed fields. Self-adhesive base to ensure secure
retention on the REHAU insulation layer. Height 100mm, thickness 10mm, length 1200mm.

Installation
Make sure installation area is fully cleared, flat even floor and surface free of irregularities.
Co-ordinate with builder at shop drawing stage to identify all construction joints and saw cuts
with concrete floors. Install the manifold straight at the designated position.
Ensure the area for installation remains dry and weathertight by incorporating a dampproof
membrane in the floor slab. Lay insulation to the total area of the installation, with edge
insulation on all internal and external wall lines. If the floor construction is a two part slab with
the walls already in place, edge insulation is required around the walls to prevent heat loss up
the walls and to allow the screed for expansion.
Confirm suitable insulation material and thickness with REHAU before installation of UFH/C.
Lay Tacker sheets tightly butted up to each other over substrate with foil overlapping adjacent
sheet. Ensure printed foil faces upwards and the grid lines up across the joints. Stagger the
joints as in a brick laying pattern. Tape down foil overlaps so no water will penetrate through
the insulation. Fix down pipes to the Tacker sheet with specially designed Tacker staples fixed
with a REHAU Tacker staple gun to ensure a secure fixing on the Tacker sheet. Staples are
specific to the pipe size (grey staples for 16mm pipe and black staples for 20mm pipe). When
fixing the pipe, staples should be positioned at a maximum of 400mm centres along the pipe.
Mark all heated and non-heated areas and floor joints on the floor area. Assemble the REHAU
expansion joint profile.
Pipework Layout
Pipework fixed onto the insulation board to REHAU's recommendations. Lay pipes in a
continuous length from the manifold in the pre-designed configuration. REHAU fittings can be
embedded into concrete if agreed with designer. Fittings to be wrapped with PVC tape. Pipes
start and finish at the manifold position. Pipes must run to the corresponding port on the
manifold. Do not cross pipes over in the floor. Note the real pipe length of each circuit to adjust
the hydraulic balancing of the manifold. Mark the name of each circuit on the corresponding
manifold outlet.

height should provide a minimum thickness of 45mm above the crown of the pipework.
Depending on structural loads the screed thickness must eventually be increased.

in floor. When installing pipe in door frames or through walls install a section of corrugated
sleeving in this area to allow free movement of the pipe.
