In the following pages, you will be guided through the system design,
layout, installation, and start-up of the Climate Trak System.
Climate Traks and Heat Transfer Plates are designed for retrofit
applications or in applications where the buildup above the subfloor is
a concern. These types of applications are not the most efficient kind of
radiant heating compared to systems such as Viega Climate Panel and
Viega Snap Panel, but deliver the comfort of having warm floors and full
radiant heating throughout the house. Both methods utilize Viega Barrier
PEX tubing and attach directly to the underside of the subfloor. This is a
fast, lightweight application to install and provides the comfort of radiant
heat the homeowner is looking for.
Systems should be protected from freezing at all times.
Proper insulation or glycol mixture may be needed in system
if not used for an extended period of the heating season.
1. Heavier aluminum than the Heat Transfer Plates
2. Fastest installation time (does not require Groove Tube)
3. Easiest to install (Traks and tubing are installed separately, so there is
no struggling with the tubing while the fastening is being done)
4. Predrilled holes for ease of fastening with screws
5. Comes in 4' or 8' long Traks that also help with installation time
6. Snap-in groove for tubing maximizes contact between the aluminum
and the PEX Tubing for efficient heat transfer
1. Made from thinner, more flexible aluminum than the Climate Traks
2. Comes in 20" long by 5" wide plates
3. Requires a small bead of Groove Tube down the channel where the
tubing is run right before installation
