Plan manifold location and tubing length for each heating zone.
Note: Final installation details depend on subfloor condition, local code, heat-source design and installer judgment.
3. Install heating tubing
Lay tubing in balanced zones, avoid kinks and keep supply and return paths organized.
Keep tubing bends clean and avoid hidden joints under the finished floor.
Note: Final installation details depend on subfloor condition, local code, heat-source design and installer judgment.
4. Organize tubing near the manifold
Prepare supply and return tubing cleanly before connecting to the manifold or heat source.
Test circulation and pressure before finish flooring is installed.
Note: Final installation details depend on subfloor condition, local code, heat-source design and installer judgment.
5. Install Charcoal Ondol top panels
Cover the lower panel joints with staggered top panels and secure them when site conditions require it.
Confirm subfloor flatness, moisture and door-clearance limits before installation.
