RT12S

Transfer Plate for PEX underfloor and sandwich applications. Unless you are in a moderate climate, you want to use Heat Transfer Plates to; increase heat transfer, speed up system response, lower necessary system water temperature. Without a Heat Transfer Plate you will need to run a system at 160 - 180 deg F. With a Heat Transfer Plate temperatures run 120 - 140 deg F.

A different perspective on extruded plate staple up installations.
RADIANT SIDE TRAK™ (Radiant heating or cooling panel)
provides an alternative method of installation which conforms to the natural ellipse of the plastic tube deployed under the subfloor.
These plates are installed facing each other in the joist bays and as the good sidewall integrity of the tube exerts its natural pressure it helps to keep the heating pipe securely in place.  You will find the possibility of the tubing walking out over time greatly diminished.

These plates are an extruded aluminum plate measuring 4 in. wide by 4 ft. long. Tubing snaps into channel, making installation fast and easy. The channel's tight grip eliminates annoying ticks and clicks as the PEX or PERT expands and contracts.

Features:

• Reduced installation time as tubing whip is reduced
• Reliable heat transfer performance
• Easily stapled or screwed to sub-floor
• Convenient 4 ft. plate length with pre-punched holes (10 per plate)
• The rigid channel construction enables flexible PE-RT tubing to be easily “snapped” into place
• As a result of the panel’s novel design, heating pipe or tubing is held securely in place.
• Available in both 3/8 in. and 1/2 in. ASTM sizes
• Radiant heat means conduction with heat transfer medium
• Good performance means high comfort and economy of operation.
