Omega-shaped, 24" long x 4" wide heat transfer plates manufactured from 0.016" thick stamped aluminum. For use with 1/2" PEX tubing (all types - A, B, C). These plates can be used for underfloor heating (between the joists, stapled to the bottom of the subfloor) or "sandwich" (between subfloor and finished floor) type radiant heating applications. When installed between the joists, recommended spacing for tubing is 8" OC (On Center). Box of 100 plates (200 linear ft total).
Everhot Omega-shaped heat transfer plates offer superior heat distribution when compared to V-shaped or U-shaped channel plates and are manufactured in the USA.
Features: - Made in USA
- Omega-shaped for close contact with PEX tubing and more efficient heat transfer
- Aluminum ensures faster and more even heat distribution
Technical Specifications: - Material: Aluminum
- Length: 2ft (24")
- Width: 4"
- Thickness: 0.016"
- For PEX pipe size: 1/2" (compatible with all types - A, B, C and PEX-AL-PEX)
Great price for a good product "I am using this for a ""sandwich"" radiant floor install, where the plates are installed above my subfloor with 3/4in boards filling in between the plates, and then hardwood flooring will go over the top.
The Omega shaped groove is important, and the 1/2in pex snapped in to these plates as expected.
These plates are thin aluminum, compared to others that I found available, but my research indicates that there is only a little gain in performance, for considerable added cost, when considering heavier gage plates, so I am confident that this is an adequate and cost effective option.
I will be ordering these for the remainder of the installation."

Much Better Heat Transfer Heating project is located in northern PA. January and February temperatures are -15F to +10F. Started project using 20 inch U shaped plates from local supply house. Have 70 of them installed. Purchased Omega shaped plates based on reviews. Removed ten U shaped and installed five Omega shaped on one side of loop. Omega shaped plates feel much warmer than U shaped in same loop. May tear out the rest of the U shaped and replace with these Omega.

Best price I could find online There was no place local that had these in stock & after shopping around online, PEX Universe was by far the cheapest. These plates have clean edges but they're still stamped aluminum so do be careful when installing. The omega shaping is great for getting a good bite around the tubing for good thermal conductivity. I'm running a bead of 100% silicone before putting the tubing in to provide even better thermal transfer & to eliminate any noises caused by aluminum & polyethylene expanding & contracting at differing rates. I'm also putting a thin layer of silicone on the top side of the plates that touch the underside of the subfloor for the same reasons. You can buy heavier gauge aluminum plates but they are far more expensive & from what I've researched don't do all that much better than the thin ones like these.

Works good We used these with our radiant floors using the sanwitch method. We built most of our plates using aluminum flashing from a hardware store which is much cheaper, but if you don't have the time and patience to do it yourself this is the way to go. Saves lots of time and pex snaps in nicely. This was one of the cheapest places I've found to order these.

Ask a Question
You say "Edges of the plates should not touch each other or intersect." Why is that? And is there testing that backs that up?
The main reason why plates should not touch or overlap each other is to avoid any noise due to expansion and contraction with temperature changes in the system.

I am in the planning phase for a two-story house. The Ground Floor is concrete slab, but the First Floor is wood floor. If I installed pex and aluminum heat transfer plates on the First Floor's plywood flooring base layer, then would heat be transferred to both the First Floor floor and the Ground Floor ceiling?
If you use insulation between the joists of the 1st floor, then most of the heat will be distributed to the 1st floor. If you do not plan to use any insulation, a portion (smaller) of the heat will be transferred to the ceiling of the ground floor as well.

can these transfer plates be screwed to the floor or do they have to float
These are not floating plates. They must be secured to the subfloor at least on one side, closer to the channel with PEX to ensure maximum proximity of PEX to the subfloor (but avoiding direct contact if possible). They can also be secured on both sides, but preferably in a way which minimizes direct contact of PEX pipe with the subfloor (i.e. screws closer to the edge of the plate rather than the PEX channel). This would minimize creaking from thermal expansion and contraction of the pipe. You can also add a few beads of silicone inside the channel for added noise reduction.

I have 5/16 wirsbo hepex tube. Will the transfer plate work? The tube will fit because it’s smaller, but will there be any issues?
These will not work for 5/16" PEX since there will be virtually no surface contact and very little conductive heat transfer, which is the primary heat delivery method for the plates.

How much heat do they give off? BTH/HR/°F or W/m*K
Plates themselves do not produce heat, they simply facilitate heat transfer from PEX tubing surface to the flooring surface. Since aluminum is a much better heat conductor than air, heat is transferred more efficiently (faster and easier) and therefore, less energy is wasted. The advantages are: (1) Radiant system can run at lower temperatures - energy savings; (2) - Response time is increased - time factor; (3) Floor surface is more evenly heated - comfort increased; As for the output - it will depend on factors such as tubing size, flow rate, water temperature, etc.

my floor joist are 16" on center, Should I use the 4" or 5" wide plates?
Both will work. With 16" OC joists, the tubing is spaced at 8" apart - this ensures equal distance between parallel runs of PEX in other bays (for more even heat distribution to the flooring above) and allows to use either 4" or 5" plates so that they would not overlap and would not have to be trimmed to fit.

will be applying these below subfloor in between floor joists. Do you recommend screwing, nailing, or using a pneumatic stapler to install? Was hoping to use pneumatic stapler to make fast work. If ok, is any type or gauge of staple preferred?
Either of these methods would work, but screws are preferred since they offer the most amount of control when securing the plates, helping to prevent plate deformation. Since the amount of contact the plate has with the subfloor directly impacts its performance, the method which would deform the plates the least would be optimal. Staples would work, but you may have to test several staple gauges before finding the one that works - unfortunately we do not have any recommendations on these details at this time.
