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

Taker - the basic tool of the installer
When planning the installation of underfloor heating, we must follow certain rules at every stage - from the design, through the implementation of the investment, to its finalization. This is the only way to ensure a warm floor and a pleasant microclimate in the interior. The installation of underfloor heating requires the selection of the most important components, as well as the skillful distribution of pipes, taking into account the type of room and its function. Without a doubt, it is the heating pipes that are, next to the heat source, the most important element of the entire installation. They are laid on a properly insulated substrate and covered with a layer of mortar (screed). Later, the floor can be laid on such a floor - carpet, panels, tiles, terracotta, etc. As you can see, in the entire organization of work on the installation of underfloor heating, the taker is definitely the basic tool of every installer, because thanks to it we will quickly and in accordance with the art attach the 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 taker, which is what the adjustment screw is for. How do we know that we've done it right? We'll see it from the mark it leaves on the clip - a visible scratch. Once we've adjusted the device, we can move on to the next step, putting a magazine of clips on the guide, pointing them with their ends down. We also place a weight on the guide, so that the clips can move down. To ensure that the work goes smoothly, it's important to remember to refill the clip pack so that there's always a complete magazine on the guide. There's also a spring limiter, which can be used to adjust its tension, adapting it to your needs. Remember to put the taker on the pipe in such a way that the bottom of the device is in direct contact with it. Now all you need to do is press the taker's handle hard enough, which will allow you to effectively drive the clip into the surface of the polystyrene.

As you can see, the taker is a very helpful tool when installing underfloor heating, especially when we use reliable KAN-therm brand takers for this purpose . Using them, we can be sure that we will quickly and comfortably drive the clips into the insulation layer, permanently securing the pipe. And what is equally important, different designs of the device allow you to match the taker to the underfloor heating clips used , both for U42 and U55.
