Design PrinciplesTo achieve maximum efficiency, an underfloor heating system is designed to compensate for heat losses through the walls, roof, windows and doors. This heat loss is greater in areas that experience lower outside temperatures. For each home, the heat output is calculated based on data specific to the home design and location.

A system design also needs to consider the type of flooring to be used, as this too impacts on the required heat output. Each type of flooring has a different thermal resistance, known as an R value (or alternatively TOG = 10 x R value). The higher the R value, the higher the required heat output. Any floor finish on top of an underfloor heating system must not exceed an R value of 0.15.

Each system is designed for a room temperature of about 20°C for the occupied areas and 22°C in bathrooms and similar areas. The floor surface temperature to achieve this varies for each home, but never exceeds 29°C in occupied areas except for bathrooms (max. 33°C) and peripheral areas (max. 35°C) i.e. hallways etc that contain connecting pipes.

The heat output of the system is controlled by three parameters:

Water temperatureThe higher the temperature of the water in the underfloor heating circuits, the higher the floor heat output. The water temperature is adjusted at the manifold mixing valve.

Water flowThe higher the flow rate of the water in the underfloor heating circuits, the higher the floor heat output. The flow rate for each individual circuit is adjusted at the corresponding flow meter on the manifold.

Pipe spacingThe smaller the distance between the pipes within the concrete, the higher the floor heat output. Most installations will have 200mm pipe centres which gives a good temperature distribution, although in some specific cases where for some reason a lower heat output is required, 300mm centres may be used.

Thermal Resistance (R value) Typical example of floor finish

0.00 m2K/W 2mm vinyl tile, 5mm ceramic tile, 3mm epoxy coating

0.05 m2K/W 25mm marble floor

0.10 m2K/W 9mm carpet floor tile, 13mm hardwood

0.15 m2K/W Deep pile carpet, wood blocks, 22mm laminates

6 | AUSPEX RADIANT

Slab DesignTo ensure an even floor temperature, allowance needs to be made in the slab construction for 30-40mm concrete cover from the top of the pipe. This is often achieved by increasing the slab thickness to e.g. 130mm. In any case the slab must conform to the requirements of AS 2870-2011.

It is the responsibility of the builder to verify the slab design with a structural engineer to achieve the required coverage over the pipe.

For optimum performance of the underfloor heating system, it is highly recommended to install a sheet of suitable insulating material under the heated concrete, particularly for installations going directly onto sand. Waffle Pod slab designs are ideal for underfloor heating systems as they give a great foam insulating barrier and have no large concrete mass beams.

Any exposed external edge of slab is strongly advised to be insulated.

Reinforcing Mesh

•Needs to be laid level to ensure that the pipe has even 40mm coverage from the top of the pipe to the finished floor level. This is to prevent uneven heating or hotspots in the floor.

•Needs to be laid in a square and continuous grid type pattern as the grids govern the way the underfloor heating pipe is installed. Particular attention to be paid where walls are designed on an angle.

Pipe LayoutsThere are two main pipe layout methods – Snail and Serpentine both of which have variations to suit site specific requirements. The Snail pattern offers a more uniform temperature and is the most commonly used. The Serpentine pattern can be used when the room has only one main heat loss wall, or in long, narrow areas. In laying either pattern, it is advised to run the supply line, the hottest part of the circuit, along the greatest heat loss area first. (e.g. along glass doors, windows or external walls).

Site PreparationFor a smooth installation, ensure the following items have been considered:

• Ensurewaterisavailableonsite,preferablytownwaterortankwithpressurepump if town water is not available.

• Usingspraypaintorothermethodtomarkoutallwalls,doors,fixedbenches and sanitary fixtures.

• Determinelocationofmanifold.

• Selectandlocatetheboiler.Theboilermaybeinstalledinternallyorexternally.Internalinstallation requires consideration of fluing and allowance for condensate and PRV drains. External installations may require a water proof cover, refer to manufactures instructions.

• Plantheflowandreturnpipeseg.26mmpre-insulatedARP422625RR8toandfromtheboiler. For ease at commissioning it is recommended to run these within the slab, below the reinforcing mesh. All pipework must be tested prior to the concrete pour.

• Clarifytheconcreteconstructionhasbeenarrangedcorrectly,confirmingthemeshsizeand appropriate cover over the pipework.

Behaviour on SiteAll tradespeople and visitors to site must be informed that underfloor heating has been installed and that care must be taken not to penetrate the slab within the heated area.

Ensure building methods used also do not risk penetration of the slab, e.g. the use of fixings in the construction of doorway openings, or bracing blocks.

It is advised to place the provided Warning Underfloor Heating labels around the site during construction, i.e. site power board, site shed, etc.

Ensure concreter is aware and educated on the extra care and methods required with a slab heating system.

Laying the PipeWhen laying the Auspex Radiant pipe, it is expected that all limitations and recommendations are adhered to as by HB 276-2004 or any relevant Australian Standard. It is expected that all installers have had the Auspex Radiant training and carry the approved installer qualifications and are a licenced plumber. It is recommended the Auspex Radiant Installation Manual is followed and a system design is acquired.

Considerations as follows:

• Hotspots: Where a concentration of pipe work is experienced, it is recommended that a corrugated sleave is run over the flow circuits to reduce excessive heat loading.

• Expansion joints: When crossing expansion joints, it is recommended that all pipework is kept to a minimum with careful attention given at design stage to reduce this. Where a circuit penetration is necessary a minimum 13mm wall foam insulation is required to span 150mm either side of the expansion joint to allow for potential future movement.

• Kinks: It is important to avoid any kinks or damage to pipe work during installation. If any pipe work is damaged it must be replaced, as per good plumbing practice.

• Layout: No circuits are to cross over. If this is required it is recommended that pipe work is run under the mesh to space pipes.

• Exclusions: No pipe work is to be run under walls, fixtures and cupboards etc, or where there is any potential for future penetration of the pipe. In the event that this is unavoidable then the pipe will need to be installed at a depth to ensure no future damage is possible.

• Zoning: If circuits are zoned it is recommended that all pipe work to and from the heated zone area is insulated reducing unnecessary heat loss, and or heating unrequired area. This can be done by running flow and return pipe work under the mesh with a corrugated sleave/insulation.

• Couplings in slab: It is preferable not to have any couplings in slabs, however in some cases where it is required the following guidelines must be strictly adhered to:

> There are to be no more than 1 coupling per circuit permissible, excluding couplings that may be required for emergency repairs to pipe during concrete pour/or during construction.

> Couplings must be completely protected with a corrugated sleave (part No. UFH039) and completely wrapped with sealing tape.

> Not in contact to any steel reinforcing.

> Only use an Auspex straight coupling to complete a join. (no elbows)

> Follow installation instructions as per Auspex Crimp manual, using an approved Auspex crimping tool.

> Check crimp with gauge tool and for pipe penetration on every crimp.

> All couplings must be clearly indicated on the installation drawing.

> The complete hydronic system must be tested as per the filling and venting step by step procedure outlined in the Auspex Radiant installation manual.

SmartClipsThe SmartClips form part of the Auspex Radiant system to secure the pipe to the reinforcing mesh. The clips are attached to the mesh using the SmartClip tool which allows for installation in the upright position, reducing strain on the back. The pipe is then laid into the clips, creating a secure connection to the mesh whilst keeping the pipe raised above and away from its potentially abrasive surface. But the key advantage to the SmartClip system is its speed. Laying the pipe with SmartClips saves hours on an installation.

Instructions

Any alternative method of securing the pipe is allowed given it does not affect the integrity of the pipe.

Step 1Adjust the height of the tool to allow its use in the upright position by lifting up the adjustment clip to allow the tool to raise or lower as needed. When the desired height is set, push the adjustment clip back down to lock in place.

Step 2Load the clips into the tool, with the smaller diameter profile pointing downwards.

Step 3Locate the grooves in the base of the tool on the intersection of the reinforcing mesh. Push downwards on the tool handle to attach the clip to the mesh.

Step 4Insert the pipe into the clips, with the pipe feeding from behind, and step the pipe into the clips to attach.

Step 5Space clips 600mm (3 mesh squares) apart along the pipe runs, or more often where more support is needed e.g. along walls and around bends.

Manifold and ValvesThe heated water flow is distributed to the pipe circuits via the manifold. Valves fitted to the manifold control the temperature and flow rate of the water which is circulated through the pipe circuits via the circulating pump fitted to the manifold. Additional fill and drain valves assist in the filling, venting and pressure testing of the system, in preparation for commissioning.

Wiring and ControlsThe control of an underfloor heating system is typically via a room thermostat which communicates with the system boiler and manifold circulating pump. This may vary depending on your selected heat source. The thermostat interprets the room temperature, and following a pre-set program, operates the system to ensure a constant comfortable environment in the home. The program can be modified to adapt to the living patterns of the occupants, thus improving system efficiency and lowering running costs.

Multiple Zone ControlThe kit is supplied as a single zone control system. One thermostat, via the wiring centre, activates the boiler and the circulating pump at the manifold when more heat is required.

The system is also adaptable to multiple zone control, where one room or a group of rooms can operate on separate temperature controls. Actuators, which are available as an accessory, can be added to the return manifold for zone control. These actuators are wired through to separate thermostats via a wiring station. Each thermostat then activates the boiler and circulating pump, and opens the associated actuators, to supply heat to that zone.

Self-Quote ProcessTo conduct your own basic quote/estimation of the project the following process is advised:

Step 1Determine the total heated floor area required. Calculate each room size and deduct anyunheated floor area such as cupboards, benches, fixtures, robes etc. Once each room sizehas been determined, add all together to get a total heated floor area in metres squared.

Step 2As an estimator’s guide for quoting purposes only, please see the following table as anexample to establish what kit size is right for your project. This formula works on every1m2 requires 5.5m of pipe, therefore allowing a 10% factor for flow and return etc. (If all couplings in slab are to be avoided each circuit will need to be calculated separately.)

8m x 8m = 64m2 total flooe area.6m x 7m = 4.2m2 subtract unheated floor area64 - 4.2 = 59.8m2 total floor heated area

Fire and Excessive HeatKeep exposed Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe a minimum of 500mm from sources of high heat such as heating appliances and flues from heating appliances.

Keep Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe 1500mm from slow combustion type stoves and flues used to heat hot water or cooking (Wet back type).

Leave 300mm minimum space between Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe and recessed electric light fittings.

Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe should not be positioned within 150mm of gas or central heating vents or flues.

Uncontrolled Heat SourcesIn the case of uncontrolled heat sources, i.e slow combustion stoves, water heating coils, wet back boilers, solar or the like, Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe should not be used. The primary flow and return on these types of heaters/boilers should not be installed in Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe.

Secondary flow and returns must be controlled so that the temperature/pressure requirements are not exceeded.

In the interest of safe temperatures and to protect the user, tempering or mixing valves shouldbeinstalledinaccordancewithAS/NZS35004.2.

When using solar systems, installers should consult with manufacturers to ensure that water leaving the storage facilities does not exceed the performance capabilities of the pipe. Primary flow and returns should not be installed in Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe and secondary flow and returns must be controlled.

Direct Sunlight ExposureThe outer layer of the Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe is not UV resistant and must be protected from all UV. The pre-insulated is also not UV stable and will require covering with a UV approved tape or sleeve.

Chemical ResistanceThe chemical properties of polyethylene are significantly improved by the cross-linking process.

Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipes are resistant to the following media:

• Concrete,plaster,mortarandcement

• DisinfectantsandcleaningagentsaccordingtoDVGW worksheet W 291 and DIN 2000

• Allnaturalpotablewaterconstituents

• Corrosion–protectionagentsaccordingtoDIN1988part4

Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipes must be protected against:

• Directcontactwithbitumenorbitumenstrips

• Pipesmustbeprotectedagainstgreases,solventsandoils

• ContaminatedareasasdefinedinAS/NZS3500

If the Auspex Radiant Multi Layered pipe and fittings installation system is used in areas where, for example, aggressive gases, permanently acting moistures or building materials containing chlorine are to be encountered, the fittings have to be protected using suitable jacketing. This also applies to contact with screed, concrete, mortar or plaster.

Always consult the manufacturer for details.

ThepipesandfittingshavebeencertifiedinaccordancewithAS/NZS4176.

DO NOT USE PIPES THAT HAVE:Kinks, cuts, deep scratches, squashed ends, imperfections or have been in contact with contaminating substances. Any of the above should be cut out and replaced, as these conditions may affect the integrity of the system.

If the Duopex Water fittings are installed with systems used in areas where, for example, aggressive gases, permanently acting moistures or building materials containing chlorine are to be encountered, the fittings have to be protected using suitable jacketing. This also applies to contact with screed, concrete, mortar or plaster.

To increase joint performance, all Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe crimp fittings are characterized by a blue plastic holding ring which has 3 important functions:

1. A blue locating ring that matches the Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe jaws for a perfect crimp position.

2. It allows the installer to visually check when the pipe is correctly fitted on the fitting.

3. The fitting has a blue plastic locating ring to identify the fitting is for all water installations only.

Auspex Radiant Fittings

Auspex Radiant Multi Layered Pipe Fittings have different O Ring compositions that are specific to their purpose. The yellow holding ring indicates O Rings for GAS and the blue holding rings indicates O Rings for WATER. Use the correct fitting for each application. This must be strictly adhered to.
