PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Electric underfloor heating cables HAKL TCX 10 have a power input of 10 W per metre of cable. They are connected to the mains via a single connecting cable 3 metres long.  For the most efficient operation, it is recommended to install a HAKL TH thermostat with a floor sensor in each room. Energy savings, and therefore cost savings, are also achieved by correctly choosing the floor covering and ensuring sufficient thermal insulation beneath the underfloor heating. Thanks to maintenance-free operation, HAKL underfloor heating meets even the most demanding requirements for quality and comfort.
Before installation the manufacturer recommends reading the installation manual carefully, where you will find a detailed description of the product and how to connect it.

FLOOR STRUCTURE

Heating cables HAKL TCX 10 are designed for wet installation, embedded in a concrete mix with a maximum thickness of 8 cm. With this floor structure, so-called "STORAGE HEATING" is achieved. The heating cable is placed under the concrete layer above the thermal insulation. This floor structure means that the thermal energy stored in the concrete radiates heat into the room for a long time after the heating is switched off. HAKL TCx 10 heating cables are recommended for installation as the main source of heat in new buildings, where raising the floor level is not an issue.

HEATING CABLE

HAKL TCX heating cables are characterised by a quality heating core - the resistance wire comes from the renowned Swedish manufacturer KANTHAL. The sheath of the TCX heating cable has a diameter of 6 mm. It is thicker than the cable used in the TF and TFX heating mats. A cable dimensioned this way withstands sharp stone fragments present in the concrete mix. It is made of a highly heat-resistant material that does not deform even during prolonged heating. When underfloor heating is connected without a thermostat, the heating cable heats up to a maximum of 65°C, while its melting point is as high as 1100 °C. 
The heating cables themselves are protected by a dense metal protective braid, which increases their durability and allows installation in damp areas (bathroom, WC…)

QUALITY CERTIFICATE

Every single heating cable is subjected to a final load test, during which the joints are tested, insulation breakdown is measured, total cable resistance, etc...
This record of piece testing is stated in the Quality Certificate. The product must meet the parameters 100% before it can leave the production line.
