SWA in U/F floor slab

Got a job where a new submain - approx 25 metre run in 16mm 3 core SWA. Embedded directly into a new concrete floor where wet U/F heating will be installed. Am trying to work out the best order of installation - that is, should the cable go in first, then the insulation, followed by the U/F pipework,and finally followed by the slab. Am not sure what order the u/f heating side will be installed and am also thinking about how if any correction factors may need to be applied for the current carrying capacity. I have sized the cable with a little overhead in mind in terms of actual final demand, but am still a little concerned about final slab operating temperature

Comments welcome.

PS - Am not liking this new format - it is like writing inside a letterbox when compiling posts!

  • Indeed. My electric UFH is set to limit the board temperature to 23 degrees and that is as hot as I can stand. (the room temperature stat is set to 21 degrees)

    Most tile adhesives have maximum recommended temperatures of 26-27 degrees.
