    It is not code compliant to connect radiant heat to a hot water heater. It has to be a boiler with an "H" stamp on it's ratings plate. Which do you have?

    Provided that your boiler has the capacity to handle the additional load, it is a fairly straightfoward job. for a free consultation contact me via my info on my profile

    what product are you using to do this? Did you dig out the bathroom floor and lay a new slab with the heating embedded in this?
