Electric heating cabel Hornisse 3,6mm (15m)
Code: HO CABLE/18-270Product detailed description
Electric floor heating cables are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to provide even and efficient heat distribution across floor surfaces. These systems are particularly effective in areas where traditional radiators may not provide sufficient warmth, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and rooms with large windows or external doors. The Hornisse 3.6mm heating cable is installed directly on a concrete screed layer, allowing it to be concealed beneath various floor finishes including tiles, panels, or stone. This installation method ensures a clean and unobtrusive appearance while maintaining the cable's effectiveness in generating consistent heat across the floor surface.
Installers working with these systems must ensure that the cable is laid out correctly, avoiding sharp bends or overlaps that could lead to uneven heat distribution or potential damage. The cable is designed for use in both residential and commercial applications, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of heating requirements. The system's flexibility allows for installation in difficult-to-reach areas, and its energy-efficient operation helps reduce overall heating costs. The cable's construction includes a fluoropolymer-insulated core and a PVC outer sheath, providing durability and resistance to mechanical stress and environmental factors.

Installation and connection
Installation of the Hornisse 3.6mm heating cable involves laying it directly on a concrete screed layer. The cable is flexible, allowing for easy placement and adjustment during installation. It is important to ensure that the cable is not overlapped or bent beyond its minimum bend radius of 50 mm to prevent damage. The cable is connected using a two-core power cable with an earthing braid, with a standard length of 2.5 m. The connection points must be securely fastened and insulated to prevent electrical faults. Installers should verify that the cable is evenly distributed across the floor area and that there are no obstructions that could interfere with heat transfer. Common installation mistakes include incorrect spacing, failure to account for thermal expansion, and improper insulation of connection points.
Compatibility and accessories
The Hornisse 3.6mm heating cable is compatible with standard underfloor heating control systems, including thermostats and temperature sensors. To complete the system, additional components such as a thermostat, temperature sensor, and electrical junction box may be required. It is recommended to use the Hornisse 3.6mm heating cable in conjunction with other compatible models, such as the 22.2m, 37.8m, 44.4m, 61.1m, 67.8m, 83.3m variants, to ensure a consistent and effective heating solution. The cable's design allows for integration with various floor finishes, making it suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
Technical background for designers
The Hornisse 3.6mm heating cable operates on a resistive heating principle, where electrical current passes through the conductive core, generating heat that is transferred to the surrounding screed and floor surface. The cable's fluoropolymer insulation ensures that the heat is evenly distributed along its length, while the PVC outer sheath provides additional protection against mechanical stress and environmental factors. The cable's construction allows for efficient heat transfer while minimizing energy consumption. The system's performance is influenced by factors such as the thickness of the screed layer, the type of floor finish, and the ambient temperature of the room. Proper design and installation are essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the heating system.
Service and operation
Maintenance of the Hornisse 3.6mm heating cable is minimal, as the system is designed for long-term reliability. Regular checks should be performed to ensure that the cable is functioning correctly and that there are no signs of damage or wear. The system should be tested periodically to verify that the temperature output is within the expected range. If any issues are detected, the system should be inspected by a qualified technician to identify and resolve the problem. The cable's resistance and current draw can be monitored to detect any potential faults or inefficiencies. No specific service intervals are required, but it is recommended to perform routine checks to ensure the system's continued performance.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Hornisse 3.6mm heating cable be used in screed layers with a thickness of less than 3.6 mm?
No, the cable is specifically designed for installation on a 3.6 mm screed layer. Using it in a thinner layer may affect its performance and could lead to overheating or uneven heat distribution.
Is the Hornisse 3.6mm heating cable compatible with all types of floor finishes?
Yes, the cable is suitable for use with a variety of floor finishes, including tiles, panels, and stone. However, the type of finish can affect the rate of heat transfer and should be considered during the design phase.
Can the Hornisse 3.6mm heating cable be cut to a shorter length?
No, the cable is manufactured in fixed lengths and should not be cut. Cutting the cable could damage the internal conductors and compromise the system's performance.
What is the maximum operating temperature of the Hornisse 3.6mm heating cable?
The maximum operating temperature of the cable is 45°C. Exceeding this temperature could lead to reduced efficiency or potential damage to the cable.
