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 using 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. You can also save energy and money by choosing the right floor covering and providing sufficient thermal insulation under 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 its wiring.

FLOOR STRUCTURE

Heating cables HAKL TCX 10 are designed for wet installation, embedded in a concrete mix with a maximum thickness of 8 cm. This floor structure achieves what is known as "STORAGE HEATING". The heating cable is placed under the concrete layer above the thermal insulation. This floor structure means that the accumulated thermal energy in the concrete radiates heat into the room for a long time after the heating is switched off. Heating cables HAKL TCX 10 are recommended for installation as the main heat source in new buildings, where increasing the floor height is not a problem.

HEATING CABLE

Heating cables HAKL TCX feature a high-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 of this size withstands sharp stone fragments found 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 the melting point is up to 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 undergoes an output 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.
