STORAGE & FLOOR PREPARATION If it is necessary to store the system once you have taken delivery, ensure it is kept in the following conditions: |
STAGE 2 |

INSTALLING THE OMNIETile PANELS For timber floors: For a solid (concrete/screed) subfloor: The OMNIETile Panels should be installed in a “brick bond” pattern across the floor as shown, starting with a full panel and trimming the last panel in the run to fit. Start the next run with a half panel ensuring that the radius bends line up as required to enable adequate pipe routing, again trimming the last panel to fit. Save any off cuts as these may be useful on other runs. |

STAGE 3 |

INSTALLING THE PIPE Once the OMNIETile panels have been installed (and any adhesive used has dried) the pipe can be inserted. Starting at the manifold and referring to the OMNIE CAD design, insert the pipe into the channels. The minimum temperature for laying the pipe should be +5°C. NOTE: If the pipework is kinked during the installation, the coil must be replaced. |
STAGE 4 |
---|
Hydraulic pressure test each circuit and keep under pressure whilst the screed is being laid. See the pressure test guide for full pressure testing guidelines. (PT UFH 01.1) |

LAY THE FLOOR COVERING Ensure that advice is sought from the flooring supplier/manufacturer as to the best tile adhesive for use with their product when laying directly onto the panel surface. We would recommend the use of a suitable tiling primer. |
