ASTRO-TAB
The Best Choice for Insulating
Below Hydronic Floor Heating Systems
|
Applications:
- I Joists 16" ASTRO-TAB between bottom caps
17" ASTRO-TAB between the webs.
- Solid Lumber Joists 16" ASTRO-TAB.
- Truss Joists 17" ASTRO-TAB between bottom
flanges or cut to fit.
Note:
When insulating above crawl space or an unfinished basement,
ASTRO-FOIL can be stapled along or across the bottom face
of the floor joists. 48" or 72"
wide material is preferred for that application. Use 2" wide
ASTRO-FOIL tape at all seams to create a vapor barrier.

Behind Stacks
|
Installation Guidelines:
- Use 16" wide ASTRO-TAB to fit between wall
studs on 16" centers.
- Push ASTRO-TAB against the sheathing and
staple through the tabs every 18" to 24".
- Install stack over the ASTRO-TAB. For maximum
thermal performance leave a 3/4" air space between the stack
and the ASTRO-TAB.

Return Air Panning Systems
|
Installation Guidelines:
- Use 16" wide ASTRO-TAB when floor joists
are on 16" centers and 24" ASTRO-TAB for joists on 24" centers.
For double panning adjacent cavities use 34" wide ASTRO-TAB.
Cut tabs same distance from the end of the ASTRO-TAB as
the depth of the joist.
- Slide ASTRO-TAB up between floor joists and
staple to the rim joist below the register opening. If run
begins away from the rim joist, bend a 1" strip along the
beginning edge of the ASTRO-TAB and staple to sub floor.
Staple the tabs to the floor joists.
- Bring the ASTRO-TAB up with the tabs over
the bottom face of the floor joists. Staple every 2" - 3".
If preferred, the tabs can be bent down and the ASTRO-TAB
slid up 3/4" between the floor joists. Staple every 2" -
3" to the bottom inside of the joists.
