Product catalog summary
Room Pack Overview
JG Underfloor Room Packs are designed for underfloor heating in single rooms up to 30m², such as conservatories, bathrooms, kitchens, and extensions. They offer a cost-effective, easy-to-install solution with high heat output, suitable for various subfloor types.
  • Components include a pre-assembled control unit, a programmable thermostat, and JG Layflat® Pipe and Clips.
Temperature Settings
The thermostatic blending valve can be set between 35°C and 60°C. Initial settings should be 40-45°C for screed floors and 55-60°C for timber floors. Maximum floor surface temperatures should not exceed 29°C, or 27°C for timber finishes. An optional floor probe can be used to monitor temperatures.
Operation
The control unit activates the pump based on a minimum temperature setting. The blending valve maintains the heating circuit temperature by mixing boiler flow with return flow. The pump runs until the primary heating water temperature drops 5°C below the set temperature.
Wiring
All wiring must be done by a qualified installer following IEE regulations. The pump comes with a plug-in cable, and a fused spur should be installed adjacent to the unit.
Installing Your Room Pack
  • Ensure the maximum area to be heated is 30m² and the boiler can handle the extra output.
  • Install UFH pipe on a solid floor with appropriate insulation and screed.
  • Tools required include a damp proof membrane, floor insulation, and various installation tools.
Steps:
  1. Prepare the floor with insulation and a vapour barrier.
  2. Install the control unit using a wall bracket.
  3. Lay the underfloor heating pipe circuits, maintaining consistent spacing.
  4. Connect the control unit to the pipe circuit and existing heating system.
  5. Lay the floor screed and allow it to dry naturally.
  6. Install and program the JG Aura thermostat.

All wiring should be undertaken by a qualified installer and conform to IEE regulations. The pump is supplied with a plug-in cable already connected forease of installation. A fused spur should be installed adjacent to the unit. The mains cable should be connected to the spur fused at 3 amps. The thermostatic blending valve has a temperature setting range between 35°C and 60°C. Blending Valve Setting Water Temperature To comply with IEE Regulations, the pump on the unit is provided with an earth connection via the connection box. 5.

Step 1 Fit floor insulation on top of the oversite concrete. Make sure the floor insulation meets design/ buildingregulations - typically 100mm in depth. Installing the control unit Step 5 Using the wall bracket, fix the provided control unit to the wall using a hammer drill and 8mm masonry bit. The control unit should be fixed vertically with the mixing valve at either the top or the bottom, or horizontally with the electrical connection box uppermost. Plug the control unit into a suitable socket or wire to a fused spur (3amp fuse). Hints & Tips For extensions with greater heat loss, for example...

Step 7 continued Make sure you maintain a consistent space of 200mm between the runs or 150mm for areas with high heat loss. For consistent spacing between runs use an appropriately sized spacer batten: e.g. 200mm space - 15mm pipe = 185mm spacer batten. Connecting the control unit to the pipe circuit Return to existing heat source Flow from existing heat source Return from UFH pipe circuit Hints & Tips Always feed the pipework from the bottom of the coil. Handle the pipe gently, especially around bends, to prevent it from kinking. You may also need to use additional pipe clips on bends depending...

Installing JG Aura heating controls (thermostat) Option 2 – connecting to the existing heating circuits without using a thermostat In an installation without a dedicated underfloor heating circuit for the control unit, the thermostat will not independently switch the boiler on. This means that the control unit will only provide heat to the UFH circuit if the main heating system is on. Return to Existing Heating Source The built in sensor will turn the pump on when the water from the boiler to the control unit is above the set temperature and turn it off when the water from the boiler drops below...
