Underfloor Heating - Cold Tails

[VDubDan]

Hi All,

I'm running some UFH in my new extension. Originally I had one mat, meaning the tail was just below the thermostat and everything was lovely, but I've had to use two smaller ones due to room shape.

Anyhow, my issue is getting the second matts cold tails to the thermostat. I don't think there's a route through the floor that works as it can't cross the other matt etc, so it's gonna have to go up a wall. I could snake it all the way around the perimeter but I really don't like that idea at all

I'm thinking of putting in either an FCU or a blanking plate (it'll need extending anyway) to mark the safe zone.

Any tricks I'm missing (appreciate you can't see the layout of the room) or is that okay?

They normally joint to extend.
Reading this we are talking a wet system?
Manifold?

...the second matts cold tails to the thermostat...

Has to be electric - I hope the OP isn't expecting anything useful from this.

Yes you could bring the cold tails up the wall to a box, and use the box to connect to fixed wiring - just put a blank plate on it. You've now created a safe zone. I assume you're thinking of going all the way up the wall, through the upstairs floor or loft, then down to the thermostat ? That's OK.

That's Simon, that's exactly the plan yeah!
