Every underfloor heating installer should have access to professional equipment that makes work easier and at the same time fully effective. One such device is a taker. Let's find out the most important information about him.
What does a floor mounting bracket look like?
If we want to perform professional underfloor heating installations, we must have access to equipment that helps in these tasks. Taker deserves such a name, i.e. a very easy and intuitive device for attaching underfloor heating pipes to polystyrene boards . It shortens assembly time, increasing efficiency and comfort of work. Completely reliable, resistant to damage, designed to serve failure-free during assembly work. He looks very inconspicuous, but his help is invaluable. Laying floor tiles without a tacker is much more time-consuming and less precise.
On the other hand, it is worth remembering that there are many different types of takers available on the market, so to choose a professional and reliable one, you need to choose a proven solution - the KAN-therm System . This is a complete installation system designed for the construction of underfloor heating and cooling installations in a wet structure. In the Kan-therm Tacker system, pipes are attached to the thermal insulation using special floor clips.

Taker - the installer's basic tool
When planning the installation of underfloor heating, we must follow certain rules at every stage - from design, through investment implementation, to its finalization. This is the only way to ensure a warm floor and a pleasant microclimate inside. Installing underfloor heating requires the selection of the most important components as well as skillful distribution of pipes, taking into account the type of room and its function. Without a doubt, heating pipes are, next to the heat source, the most important element of the entire installation. They are placed on a properly insulated substrate and covered with a layer of mortar (screed). Later, you can lay a floor on such a floor - carpet, panels, tiles, terracotta, etc. As you can see, in the entire organization of work on underfloor installation , the taker is definitely the basic tool of every installer, because thanks to it we can quickly and artfully install underfloor heating pipes.
How to use taker correctly?
We attach the pipes using special mounting clips. Before we start the assembly, remember to properly adjust the tacker, which is what the adjustment screw is for. How do we know we'll do it right? We will see it by the mark it leaves on the clip - a visible scratch. Once we have adjusted the device, we can move on to the next step by placing the magazine of clips on the guide, pointing them with their ends downwards. We also place a weight on the guide so that the clips can move down. For work to run smoothly, it is important to remember to replenish the clip package so that there is always a complete magazine on the guide. There is also a spring limiter with which you can adjust its tension to suit your needs. Remember to place the taker on the pipe so that the bottom of the device is in direct contact with it. Now all you have to do is press the handle of the tacker hard enough, which allows you to effectively drive the clip into the surface of the Styrofoam.
The KAN-therm Tacker system fits both U42 and U55 clips
As you can see, a tacker is a very helpful tool when installing underfloor heating, especially when we use reliable KAN-therm tackers for this purpose . By using them, we can be sure that we will quickly and conveniently drive the clips into the insulation layer, permanently fixing the pipe. And what is equally important, the different designs of the device allow you to adjust the tacker to the floor clips used , both for U42 and U55. The KAN-therm Tacker system ensures universal use, so it can be used in single-family, multi-family and public buildings. See for yourself how complete and rich the product offer is available.
To sum up, we see that installing a floor tile using a tacker is a much simpler and faster task than without this device. That's why no installer can forget about it!
