Before StarƟ ng the InstallaƟ on
• The usable area of the Ampex panel is 24x48” (610x1219mm). Once the enƟ re area calculated from the drawings (in
Ō
2
), divide the total area by 8Ō
2
to get the number of panels required.
• The total amount of concrete needed for a given slab can be calculated using Amvic’s quick online calculator that can
be found on the Ampex product page: hƩ ps://www.amvicsystem.com/products/ampex/.
• It is important that the hydronics designer/specialist is aware that Ampex panels are designed around 3” (76mm)
increments.
• Ensure that the base is smooth, compacted and at the correct elevaƟ on before panel installaƟ on.
• Check to see if the local building code requires a dedicated vapor barrier which will need to be installed prior to placing
the panels.
• It may be necessary to glue some of the panels, use construcƟ on adhesive that is compaƟ ble with foam insulaƟ on (e.g.
LePage PL®300 Foam Board Adhesive).
• Panels are designed to securely lock the tubing in place allowing other trades to conƟ nue working on the panels
without running the risk of damaging or dislocaƟ ng the tubing.
