2 The ultimate in natural, comfortable, efficient heating. WarmRite control panels allow you to easily manage the delivery of warmth and comfort throughout your home The WarmRite Floor radiant system makes every room warm and inviting. It can be installed directly in slab and basement floors, staple-up applications or topping pour for tile floors in bathrooms, kitchens and foyers. Clean, quiet, efficient radiant systems are quickly becoming the preferred heating solution in residential, industrial, institutional and commercial buildings. IPEX WarmRite Floor is an industry-leading system offering a practical, superior radiant heating solution. By distributing heated water from a heat source through a piping network in the floor, WarmRite Floor radiant heating systems are the ultimate in natural, even, comfortable, fuel-efficient heating. Also known as hydronic heating, radiant heating systems are the superior alternative to forced air heating. Forced air heating systems blow hot air into a room only to see it rise to the ceiling where it does little good in warming occupants below. Energy efficient WarmRite Floor radiant systems deliver heat directly where it s needed most at floor level. Objects, surfaces and people in the room are heated without introducing hot, dry air. Room surfaces become warmer and more inviting to the touch. Humidity levels are more easily controlled. Airborne allergens, dust and dryness associated with forced air heating systems are all but eliminated. The result is the highest level of personal comfort and luxurious warmth imaginable.

3 Ideal for primary heating and floor warming Hydronic radiant heating is ideal as the primary heat source for your home. WarmRite Floor can be installed in every room, replacing traditional forced air heating. Or, install WarmRite Floor in only select areas of the house to make typically cold ceramic, hardwood or basement floors warm and inviting. Ideal for industrial, commercial and institutional heating Heat entire factories and warehouses with IPEX radiant systems and realize significant energy savings. Ongoing studies show WarmRite Floor uses less than half the energy of traditional overhead heating systems found in factories and warehouses. At the same time it provides an unprecedented level of comfort and warmth for employees. The operating efficiency and comfort provided by WarmRite Floor makes it the ideal heating solution for offices, schools, seniors facilities and more. Innovative pre-assembled control panels save time and money. Snow/Ice Melt Systems Install IPEX radiant snow melt systems for improved safety and reduced maintenance in industrial, institutional, commercial and residential situations. Loading docks, sidewalks, steps and other high-traffic areas where ice and snow can put employees, visitors and the general public at risk of slips and falls are ideal applications for IPEX snow melt systems. Residential walkways and driveways can also benefit from IPEX radiant snow melt systems, ensuring safety and allowing homeowners to forget about at least one unwelcome winter chore shoveling snow.

4 Radiant Components for Every Application Innovative Pre-assembled Control Panels We ve taken steps to make radiant heating installation fast and efficient. Normally contractors must purchase numerous individual manifolds, pumps, valves, controls and fittings and spend countless hours assembling and installing these components to complete a radiant heating project. Manifolds and accessories IPEX takes the hassle out of installation by preassembling these components in a professional steel cabinet. We deliver the control panel suited to your project. All that remains is to mount the panel, connect radiant piping and wiring and the system is finished. Regardless of the heating application, IPEX has a time saving pre-assembled control panel to meet your needs. The WarmRite Floor package is completed with an extensive offering of professional radiant heating components including supply and return manifolds, heating accessories, thermostats and system controls. Kitec XPA Pipe and PEX Tubing from one source IPEX is the one source for all your radiant pipe and tubing needs. Our renowned Kitec XPA pipe has unique features and benefits that make it the leading choice for radiant heating systems. Kitec XPA pipe is built tough with a unique structure of metal and plastic combined in one pipe. Its aluminum core is a permanent built-in oxygen barrier that protects key mechanical components in your heating system from deteriorating. Kitec is easily handled and installed. Shaped by hand, Kitec keeps its shape, making installation fast. KITEC XPA PEX IPEX-brand barrier Pex tubing gives you the option to mix and match pipe and tubing for certain areas of your radiant project. Choose barrier Pex tubing for certain applications on the second floor, and Kitec XPA pipe for the in-slab basement and snow melt portions of your system. Whatever your preference IPEX has the pipe and tubing you need. Supply/Return Piping Solutions Kitec XPA pipe in 3 ¼4" and 1" sizes is an excellent choice for the supply and return piping that runs from heat source to control panel. IPEX also offers Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 CPVC pipe ideally suited for supply and return piping in larger radiant heating systems.
