Floor heat

[wyatt]

Looking to install dryers outside of my IBA bay. Problem is the floor out there has underground heat. Any ideas on how to figure out where the hoses run underground?

I've looked into buying one that attaches to the exit door but a normal arch is easier to find used.

You can rent a thermal imager and crank up the floor heat to see exactly where the tubes are.

Seek Thermal Compact - All-Purpose Thermal Imaging Camera for iOS , Black - LW-AAA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NYWABA...abc_V12WMMJDAH0CG936RW1S?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

We bought this and it works flawlessly. Can see all the in floor heat lines. Totally worth it.

Too bad it wasn't for Android.

Thanks for the link! Bert offered to let me borrow his, but I run Android. Had to poke at him a little bit. I should probably (definitely) pick one up!

Flir makes one that can be used with a phone for less than $200. Inexpensive little toy to own.
