Under tile electric heat

[aa0qm]

Does the code allow one to place Easy Heat cable (or any other brand for that matter) under concrete shower stalls? Thanks for any help.

The code doesn't appear to directly specifiy this issue. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and comply with Section 424.44(G) of the NEC.

I would stick with the type of cable made to be installed in floors, and follow the manuafcturer's instructions, like Bryan said.

I have easy heat cable installed under a Pergo kitchen floor, and under the bathroom granite floor. For under a shower tile, you need to use their low-voltage version.

All of the thermostat/timers incorporate a GFCI nonetheless.
