REHAU Tacker Sheet System
This system saves significant time and costs during the installation process by combining previously separate installation steps into one.
REHAU Tacker Sheet 
are no longer required.
In addition to this, the Tacker Sheet system also allows more flexibility in circuit patterns.
Patterns, such as the reverse spiral are easier and quicker to install. The system has clear advantages, when circuits are installed in areas with drains, pillars, alcoves etc., since the pipe can now be easily laid around such obstacles.
The REHAU range of RAUTHERM pipe in sizes 16mm x 1.5mm and 20mm x 1.9mm are fully compatible with the Tacker Sheet system.
The Tacker Sheet is made out of standard expanded polystyrene grades already well established within the building industry. They comply with the relevant industry standard and are CFC free. Each board is laminated with a fabric reinforced foil made from polyethylene. A grid system is printed onto the clear foil allowing the installer to quickly determine the appropriate pipe spacing during the installation. The fact, that the foil is water resistant, together with the foil overlaps on two adjacent sides of each board ensure, that when the joints are sealed with tape, no water from the screed will penetrate through to the insulation.Tacker Sheet is available in EPS70 and EPS100 grades in both 25mm and 50mm thickness. Standard Fire Class is F (according to BS EN 13163).
Tacker Staples
Specially designed Tacker staples ensure a secure fixing of the pipes on the Tacker Sheet. Staples are specific to the pipe size (grey staples for 16mm pipe, black staples for 20mm pipe) and their innovative hook design guarantees, that the staples are fully retained by the fabric reinforcement of the foil,thereby preventing the pipe from lifting during the screeding process.Tacker staples should only be fixed into theTacker Sheet with the REHAU Tacker staple gun. When fixing the pipe, staples should be positioned at a maximum interval of 400mm centres of pipe length. If Tacker staples were set wrongly and are pulled out again, then always make sure that the holes in the grid, punched by the staples, are taped over again. Staples come in packs of 30, taped together to make it easier and quicker to feed them onto the staple carrier of the staple gun. Once fed onto the staple gun carrier, the tape should be removed.
Staple Gun
There are two staple guns available, one for the grey staples, only to be used in combination with the16mm RAUTHERM pipe and one for the black staples, only to be used in combination with the20mm RAUTHERM pipe. Both staple guns are colour coded accordingly, to identify them more easily on site: grey shroud for 16mmstaples, black shroud for 20mm staples. Each staple gun comes with an integrated staple carrier, which can hold up to 90staples. After the staples have been placed onto the carrier, the tape must be removed to avoid jamming of the staples. During the stapling, there should always be a sufficient number of staples on the carrier to ensure the correct feeding of the staples into the staple gun.The staples are pushed into the insulation by pushing down the handle of the staple gun completely. Before the next staple is set, the handle must be allowed to fully travel back.
