Never gonna let you down.
What is this? Too lazy to look back but interested
It’s ditra underlayment. More specific ditra heat. The heat wire snaps between the waffles.Is this some sort of floor underlayment?

Taking a page from my playbook- atta boy!then i went to swap again, and the one that was out was just loose
Shot in the dark- looking to borrow a mega ohmmeter for a day. Didn’t realize I need one to properly test my ditra heat cable. My cheap multimeter isn’t up to snuff for the testing.
You’re supposed to use a mega ohmmeter to do the insulation resistance test. In theory if there is a micro break in the wire, a regular multimeter won’t detect it, and it could trigger the gfci circuit built into the thermostat.should be doable with a $10 meter from harbor freight????
Where are you located? I have a professional multimeter at home that you can borrow.You’re supposed to use a mega ohmmeter to do the insulation resistance test.

Thanks, but is it a “mega” ohmmeter? They are super expensive and usually only electricians need them, even a fancy multi meter isn’t the same.Where are you located? I have a professional multimeter at home that you can borrow.

Ditra wants you to test the wire out of the box and after it’s installed, just in case it breaks while laying it down. If something goes wrong while installing the tile you’re out of luck. Ditra also supplies two heat sensors to be redundant, they are very diligent about ensuring the installation is successful.interesting - i never thought of a jacket fracture. when is the test administered? after pressing into the ditra? once the mortar is down, the result/response is the same. if it is screwed up, rip it out?
i installed a 15w system in a clients bathroom - told him to leave it on, cause like $3/month and warmish floor. he kept turning it off, and wondered
why the floor wasn't warm in the morning - even with an hour lead time - just not enough juice!
Yes, it reads megs. It was around $400, this isn't homeowner grade(this one would be overkill for an electrician). I work in electronics manufacturing and use it for troubleshooting circuit boards. I'm in Hillsborough.Thanks, but is it a “mega” ohmmeter? They are super expensive and usually only electricians need them, even a fancy multi meter isn’t the same.

This one's for my job, there's no way I'd have it if I didn't need it for that. I have a $10 harbor freight analog one that I use for 99.999% of the stuff at home. I don't need to know if the outlet is 120.7693 volts, just if it's dead or not.i'm getting a little jealous of your toy collection. imma gunna have to go buy something i don't need tomorrow!
Awesome! Sent you a pm.Yes, it reads megs. It was around $400, this isn't homeowner grade(this one would be overkill for an electrician). I work in electronics manufacturing and use it for troubleshooting circuit boards. I'm in Hillsborough.
Let me know how it works, then you can come and clean my 2 car garage to fit 3 cars...good news I don't have any fishing rods.First Flemington project. Replace this piece of crap:

Up and running. Next major project, have 2+ weeks to clean up this disaster to fit the GT350
