With this system, the aquatherm black grid is installed between the supporting battens and the wooden substructure. The wall or ceiling is then planked with building boards, for example made of plasterboard. Thanks to different grid widths and lengths, the surface can be fitted in different ways, creating free space for ceiling installations (spotlights, suspensions for lighting, smoke detectors, etc.), for example.

Installation description aquatherm black ceiling system with wooden substructure: Welding

1. substructure

The substructure must be installed in accordance with the recognised rules of technology, generally applicable standards and regulations as well as the manufacturer's instructions. The substructure must be installed in accordance with the provisions of DIN 18182-1. Ensure that the installation is level and flush.

2. installation of the aquatherm black heating and cooling coil

The registers are installed between the supporting battens in accordance with the installation plan. The centre distance of the wooden profiles can be found in the aquatherm installation instructions. The registers are adapted to the standard dimensions of the supporting structure (aquatherm installation example). The manufacturer's specifications for the building boards used must also be observed. If the ceiling is not closed directly by the drywall contractor, we recommend securing the registers with an additional fastening (e.g. plastic tape).

3. connection of the aquatherm black heating and cooling coil

The registers are equipped with a welded connection on the left, right (one-sided). Once the registers have been installed in the supporting structure, they are connected together to form heating or cooling zones in accordance with the installation plan. The PP 16x2 mm register pipe is used for the welded connection.

4. connection pipework of the aquatherm black heating and cooling coil to the distribution system

The connection of the heating/cooling circuits from the manifold or the main pipework is routed into the room, e.g. through the wall/ceiling, in accordance with the applicable regulations. The aquatherm black PP register pipe 16x2 mm can be used for this purpose. We recommend fastening the connecting pipes with plastic fastening clamps in accordance with our specifications (aquatherm black installation principles).

5. installation of the building boards

The building boards are now screwed to the wooden profiles according to the manufacturer's instructions. It must be ensured that the registers are filled with water (or the corresponding medium) and are under system pressure during the installation of the building boards. Installation must be carried out in accordance with the provisions of DIN 18180. Any insulation required in accordance with fire protection or sound insulation requirements should also be installed.
