What is spacing for radiant floor heating?
Factors such as tubing size, tube spacing, and water temperature directly represent the heat output (in BTH/sq. ft./hr.) of the radiant heating system. With 3/4″ tubing either a 12″ or an 18″ spacing is used, depending on the climate and the desired temperature for the space.
How much radiant tube do I need?
Generally, for a residential Infloor Heating System® we recommend 3/8″ and 1/2″ tubing. The tube size dictates the flow rate that can be achieved and also indicates the maximum loop length based on the head pressure. We generally recommend 5/8″ and 3/4″ tubing for large commercial and snowmelt applications.

What is radiant heating?
Radiant heat uses invisible electromagnetic infrared waves to heat you. It doesn’t heat the air like happened in the house you grew up in.
