The Quik Trak Calculator is a radiant heating planning tool that estimates how many Quik Trak panels and return panels are required for a project. By entering the square footage of the heated area, the calculator applies industry-standard formulas to provide accurate material counts.
- Save time and money: Get the correct panel count upfront.
- Streamline installations: No runs to the supplier mid-job.
- Improve planning: Align panel count with tubing length and manifold design.
- Budget confidently: Order the right quantities from the start.
What the Quik Trak Calculator Considers
- Enter square footage of the area to be covered by Quik Trak panels.
- Quik Trak panels needed (area x 0.386)
- Return panels required (area x 0.043)
- These results let you order exact material amounts rather than guess.
What does this calculator do?
It gives you a quick count of how many Quik Trak panels and return panels you'll need based on your heated floor area. Think of it as a head start on planning.
How are panel quantities calculated?
Multiply your square footage by 0.386 to get Quik Trak panels. Multiply by 0.043 to get return panels.
What is a return panel?
It's the piece that lets tubing loop back to the manifold. Without it, your layout doesn't close the circuit. With it, the system flows like it should.
What if my area input is off?
If you overshoot, you'll end up with extra panels. Undershoot, and you'll be stuck mid-install waiting for more. Entering accurate dimensions up front keeps the job moving without hiccups.
Can this tool size tubing or manifolds?
This one's just about panel counts. For tubing, manifolds, and the full system picture, you'll want to use the other radiant design tools.
