Comfortable Radiant Heating for Medium-Sized Floor Areas

The Schluter DITRA-HEAT-E-HK 240V heating cable is designed to warm floor areas up to 85.3 sqft, making it an excellent solution for bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and other interior living spaces. Installed beneath finished flooring, it provides comfortable radiant heat where it's needed most.

Engineered specifically for the DITRA-HEAT uncoupling membrane, the cable delivers efficient heat distribution while supporting long-lasting flooring performance.

Advanced Twisted Pair Construction for Reliable Performance

Featuring a twisted pair cable design, the DITRA-HEAT-E-HK delivers consistent heating while producing virtually zero electromagnetic fields. Its durable construction helps maintain dependable electrical performance throughout the life of the installation.

Key features include:

• Uniform radiant heat distribution
• Virtually zero electromagnetic field emissions
• Designed for 240V DITRA-HEAT systems
• Compatible with tile, stone, and resilient flooring such as LVT

Faster Installation with Snap-In Membrane Technology

Unlike conventional electric floor heating systems, this cable snaps securely into the DITRA-HEAT membrane without requiring clips or fasteners. This simplifies installation while helping maintain proper cable spacing throughout the floor.

Installation advantages include:

• No clips or fastening accessories required
• No self-leveling compounds needed to encapsulate cables
• No return wire to the thermostat required
• Reduced installation time for professional contractors

Flexible Cable Layout for Customized Heat Coverage

The cable can be arranged using approved spacing patterns to accommodate different room layouts and heating requirements. Installers may use alternating three-stud and two-stud spacing where additional heat output is desired or where cable management requires greater flexibility.

To ensure safe and efficient performance:

• Never cut or modify the heating cable.
• Maintain a minimum 2" clearance from walls and fixed cabinets.
• Keep appropriate spacing from heat sources, drains, and ductwork.
• Create buffer zones near doors or fixtures when needed for excess cable.

Designed for Safe Installation and Long-Term Reliability

Proper installation is essential for maximizing performance and protecting the heating system. The cable should always be tested before installation, during installation, and prior to covering the floor to verify electrical integrity.

For best results:

• Test cable resistance at all recommended installation stages.
• Use a megohmmeter to perform insulation resistance testing.
• Consult a qualified electrician when selecting the correct voltage for your project.
• Install all cable connections beneath the finished floor according to Schluter installation guidelines.

Perfect for Tile, Stone, and Modern Resilient Flooring

The DITRA-HEAT-E-HK heating cable is suitable for a variety of interior applications where comfortable floor warming is desired without sacrificing flooring performance.

Ideal applications include:

• Residential bathrooms
• Kitchens and dining areas
• Mudrooms and laundry rooms
• Entryways and hallways
• Tile, natural stone, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) installations

The system should not be installed beneath permanent cabinets, enclosed vanities without air space, bathtub platforms, or other fixed structures that restrict heat dissipation.
