25 QuestionsQ: can 1/2" pex be used w/ quik trak?
Asked by capta 11 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffNo, the Quik Track material requires the use of 5/16" PEX tubing. It does not accept 1/2" PEX tubing.
Q: My tile installer ran screws through tubing in three spots. all at end of loop on last sheet of cement board. Will need to install two repair connectors( either side of radius), 6 in total. Any problem with this? The total floor area is around 100 sq'. I would prefer not to pull entire floor if it can be avoided. And, no, I am not the tile installer.

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffWe would recommend that you try to put repair couplings (part A4010313) in if you can. It may be difficult to get the couplings to fit in the panel (and to get them to come out flush with the top of the panel), but replacing the entire loop of tubing and potentially all the panels in that loop would be a much more difficult and costly job.
I would take it all up for such a small area. Replace entire line, too much expansion to worry about so many repairs, Reinstall cement board myself to be sure, run compressed air while installing to now your good, and don't use the same tile installer if he's that oblivious to details.

I have used many connectors on jobs with the same situation and have never had a problem.
Q: Do I need to overlay anything on the Quik Trak before installing carpet and padding?
Asked by chefetter 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffCarpet/padding can be installed directly on top of Quik Trak panels.
no. just make sure you use correct pad for heated floor
Yes, it is just a subflooring, you still need a finished floor over it.
Q: Do you install felt paper before Quik Trak on the subfloor or after? One recommended to use Tyvek, is that a good idea?
Asked by Apollonios 13 years ago

What is the felt supposed to do? In roofing, the felt is part of the water barrier. First defense: shingles. Second defense: felt. In walls, Tyvek is also water (plus air) barrier. First defense: sheathing. Second defense: Tyvek. With hydronic flooring there isn't really a barrier you need, other than a barrier for heat. That's why you insulate underneath. But you didn't really ask about that. In any case, in my kitchen we put the Quik Trak right over the subfloor with a zillion drywall screws. Over top went thinset and backerboard, then tile. It works beautifully. Nice, warm floors. Cheers, Robert.
install the paper between the quiktrax and the flooring you are installing. I installed a floating floor system with an integral cushioned back directly over the quiktrax and it worked great.
Q: Can i use dry wall screws to attach QT panels to subfloor? And how often should be used
Asked by Apollonios 13 years ago
Add your answer
Yes, you can use dry wall screws, 6-8 per panel
Ours was installed with drywall screws. I've heard it argued that these are not very strong nor moisture resistant. But methinks that if your pex is leaking under tile, thinset, backerboard, etc. the rust resistance of a drywall screw is really not an issue. The installer put in a lot of screws but they had an auto feed drill driver and screws are cheap. We put the quicktrack long axis parallel to the floor joists and We ended up with a very "massive" floor in the sense that it was very solid. Cheers, ...Robert
Yes, and I would recommend it! I used 4 screws per piece of track and in a zig zag pattern about 1.5" inches from sides and end - _ - _ Sent from my iPhone
I did and have had no difficulty. I placed one every 6 inches on either side of each quick track.
Uponor cdam states ten inch and a quarter screws per 48" panel
Q: can those loops of quik trak can be connected to the same manifold used also for baseboards ? i am asking in terms of heat level and pex diameter ? are quiktrak should use different temperature than baseboards heaters for example the slantfin ?
Asked by Erez 14 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffIn-floor systems typically use a lower water temperatures than baseboard radiators. The only way you would be able to use the same manifold is if you used a lower water temperature for your baseboards and were able to get enough flow to the baseboards through a PEX size that is compatible with the manifold you use (QuikTrak only works with 5/16" PEX).
No, You should be running in the range of 150 degrees for the baseboard, and more like 100 degrees for the radiant in your floor. They should be on seperate manifolds. We are very happy with our radiant... -bill
You will not want to have your floor heat the same temp as your baseboard - Baseboard should be much hotter. However you can achieve the temp differential using a heat exchanger. Really, the baseboard and floor board should be on different loops of the manifold and at different temps. We installed several a hybrid systems like this with baseboard and floor radiant and it works great. Kurt
I don't think you can do this. The baseboard temps are normally about 160 degrees and the pex floor temperatures are about 100 degrees. My setup has a mixing valve to lower the floor heat temperature. Bill
quik trak accepts a 5/16 pex, which has an OD of slightly under 1/2 inch. i'm certain it is smaller than the 3/4 lines run for baseboard.
Q: Can you use the Uponor ProPEX fittings with the required 5/16" tubing for this product? The Milwaukee M12 expander tool appears to only go down to 3/8".
Asked by Mike 14 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou cannot. At least at this time, Uponor does not offer 5/16" ProPEX fittings.
Q: What is the country of manufacture for the Quik Trak panels? Is this info clearly marked for Canada Customs (to determine tariffs/duties)?

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe Quik Trak panels are made in the United States, a fact which is clearly marked on the manufacturer's label on the panels.
Q: How thick is the metal backing on the underside of the panels?
Asked by 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe metal backing is paper-thin aluminum flashing.
The aluminum transfer panels on the bottom of the Quik Trak 7 x 48 Trak panel are 0.005" thick.
Q: We're interested in using Quik Trak in our basement, which is currently a tiled slab. The tile have been down since the 40's, so there's no way they're coming up, and they might also be asbestos, so we've been told to just let them alone. My questions are: -Can we lay QT right over this? I know a subfloor is recommended, but ceiling clearance is a real issue. -How can it be attached to concrete? - Assuming we can do this, QT is 1/2 inch, so what's the best way to save space on top? If we go with hardwood, is there a minimum thickness? But then area rugs would make it even worse. - If we go with wall-to wall carpet, can we get away with 1/4 inch ply over QT under carpet? Thanks!

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffA subfloor is necessary as per the manufacturer. You can either glue or nail down the subfloor. You can get away with 1/4" plywood over the top of the Quik Trak.
