Reliable Radiant Floor Warming for Compact Interior Spaces

The Schluter DITRA-HEAT-E-HK 120V heating cable is designed to provide comfortable, energy-efficient floor warming for areas up to 37.5 sqft. Ideal for smaller spaces such as bathrooms, powder rooms, laundry rooms, and entryways, it creates a warm walking surface beneath tile, stone, and resilient flooring.

When paired with the DITRA-HEAT uncoupling membrane, the cable delivers even heat distribution while helping support the long-term performance of the finished floor.

Twisted Pair Cable Technology for Consistent Heating Performance

Engineered with a twisted pair cable design, the DITRA-HEAT-E-HK provides reliable radiant heat while producing virtually zero electromagnetic fields. The durable construction ensures consistent warmth throughout the heated area for everyday comfort.

Key features include:

• Virtually zero electromagnetic field emissions
• Uniform heat distribution across the floor
• Designed for 120V DITRA-HEAT systems
• Compatible with tile, stone, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT)

Faster Installation with the DITRA-HEAT Snap-In System

The heating cable securely snaps into the DITRA-HEAT membrane without requiring clips, staples, or additional fasteners. This innovative design simplifies installation and helps maintain proper cable spacing throughout the project.

Installation benefits include:

• No clips or fastening accessories required
• No self-leveling compounds needed over the cable
• No return wire required to the thermostat
• Reduced installation time for contractors and installers

Flexible Layout Options for Customized Heating Zones

The DITRA-HEAT-E-HK cable can be installed using approved spacing patterns to accommodate different room layouts and heating needs. Alternating three-stud and two-stud spacing may be used where greater heat output or additional cable length is required.

For proper installation:

• Never cut or shorten the heating cable.
• Maintain a minimum 2" clearance from walls and fixed cabinets.
• Keep safe distances from heat sources, drains, and ductwork.
• Create buffer zones near fixtures or doorways when needed.

These guidelines help ensure safe and consistent floor warming performance.

Built-In Safety Guidelines for Long-Term System Performance

Proper installation practices are essential to maintain the reliability of the floor heating system. The cable should be tested before installation, during placement, and before the finished floor is installed to verify proper electrical performance.

Recommended installation practices include:

• Perform resistance testing throughout installation.
• Use a megohmmeter for insulation resistance testing.
• Install the cable connection beneath the finished floor as instructed.
• Consult a qualified electrician when selecting the appropriate voltage for the project.

Perfect for Bathrooms, Kitchens, and Residential Renovations
