Floor Heating Faults.

This page is m.i.m.s Heater cable, commonly called Pyro - Pyrotenax. Go to Floor Heater faults 2 for plastic type cables

 
This is a join inside a brass ferrule covered by heat 
shrink by some Floor heat contractors in the 70's
up to today in inslab heating.   This is a termination used on m.i.m.s..floor.heat cable
with open circuit inside. I have cut the heatshrink
to expose the joint.   This is close up of previous floor heating to
power cable termination. You can see burn hole in
the bottom of heat shrink   floor heat cable blown apart 
above concrete slab reinforsement mesh

This is a m.i.m.s. cable splitting giving low insulation
resistance. Ss it gets worse it will open circuit.
This is a pyrotenax inslab heater.

This is a m.i.m.s. floor heat cable spliting, giving low
insulation resistance. As it gets worse it will
open the circuit.
This is a termination used on m.i.m.s. cable
blown apart creating open circuit.
inslab heater   m.i.m.s. inslab heating cable with nail driven
into cable by carpet layer into the floorheat   troublesome termination used on m.i.m.s.
cable main problem was the joint was pushed in to 
a conduit stopping heat transfer from the cable
inside   troublesome termination used on m.i.m.s.
cable main problem was the joint was the resin in 
a conduit stopping heat transfer also it srunk letting
in moisture + the crimp joint inside failed inside  

inslab heating

 

This is a m.i.m.s. inslab heating cable with nail driven
into cable by the carpet layer into the floorheat.

This is a troublesome termination used on m.i.m.s.
cable. Main problem was the joint was pushed into
a conduit stopping heat transfer from the cable
inside.

This is a troublesome termination used on m.i.m.s.
cable. Main problem was the joint. The resin in
a conduit stopping heat transfer. It also shrunk letting
in moisture. The crimp joint inside failed inside.
