My friend suggested a way to make a channel
in aluminum plate for the tubing.
I figured out how to make 2 channels...
Here I show the C-Channel made from 18" flashing
and what it looks like installed.
It is installed on a mock up for an
under-floor staple-up.
I also included a picture of Radiantec installed.
It was almost as much work.
They sent me single-channel plates,
saying they are better for my above-floor,
tiled application.
I'm not convinced yet.
Need to get the right size staples.
And a good staple gun.
I got long staples and medium long nails,
should have gotten short staples.
I did not try my plates on a testbed of sleepers
for over-the-floor. I am still grappling with the
concern that the Aluminiminimum will chemically
interaction with the tile grout.
