TempZone™ Floor Heating Ruler Cable Description
A cost-effective alternative to using the Prodeso Cable Installation Membrane, GripStrips Floor Heating Cable Fixing Strips are used for securing TempZone™ floor heating cables in place on floors at predetermined spacing to ensure even heating. These plastic strips enable you to keep the heating cable secured in position, uniformly positioned across the floor, while you install the floor adhesive. The cable fixing strips are 1 3/8" x 12 3/4" x 1/4" with studs every inch to allow for 3" or 4" spacing of the heating cable.
GripStrips are safer than metal fixing strips and are more durable than other comparable plastic strips on the market. They can be snapped together lengthwise for ease of installation. GripStrips come with three holes per strip to anchor the strips to the subfloor (alternatively they can be adhered to a clean subfloor--adhesive sold separately). Additionally, these strips have a unique design that allows them to "grip" around the cable to securely hold them in place while keeping tension on the cable during installation for maximum accuracy.
Every order of TempZone floor heating cables (without the Prodeso Membrane) will include a complimentary minimum quantity of fixing strips for installation. These items are additional or replacement strips that you can purchase.

Our electric radiant floor heating systems have withstood rigorous safety testing and earned the UL listing. They produce much less EMF than common household appliances like your TV or vacuum cleaner. The EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) tests all electrical devices and publishes the data. Many common household appliances are tested at a distance of 6 inches. The test results indicate that on average, the EMF emitted for the following appliances, measured in Milligauss (mG) units, is:
Vacuum Cleaner: 300 mG
Microwave: 200 mG
Portable Heater: 100 mG
Dishwasher: 20 mG
Washing Machine: 20 mG
WarmlyYours TempZone™ (Twin): 1.8 mG
The breaker and wire sizes are selected based on the total amperage of the WarmlyYours heating system connected to a single thermostat. This information is on the WarmlyYours heating system's installation plan, electrical plan, or UL label. Based on guidelines from the National Electrical Code: loads up to 16 Amps may utilize 12 gauge wire with a 20-Amp breaker, and loads up to 12 Amps - 14 gauge wire with a 15-Amp breaker. Local code and/or other factors may change these guidelines.
