Re: Basement Slab With Radiant Heat
you could probably take an infared tempurature gun and figure out where the loops are running.

Re: Basement Slab With Radiant Heat
I'm not sure how much they cost, my best friend's dad works for a company that makes them, so I got mine for free.
It will take the tempurature of the surface of the concrete, but I'm betting the surface is hotter directly over the pipe. |

Re: Basement Slab With Radiant Heat
Here is a link to the one I have for $75
Looks like there are cheaper models to be had for about $50 These things are cool, once you have one you think of all sorts of things to do with it. http://store.novatechgadgets.com/ramimt2inth.html PS- is that picture from the job in question? If so, can't you figure out the loop locations from the pic? |

Re: Basement Slab With Radiant Heat
FLIR Camera anyone? The cost of having someone come in & mark it = a lot less than puncturing it
