How to Install a short Wye Splitter Kit (after your system has been running).
- Turn off the HUG Hydronics system by the power switch on the power supply. Check to make sure the "Power" light on the control board is off.
- Locate the silicone hoses (outgoing and return) to which the Wye will be added. Disconnect them from the PEX tubes.
- Trim the pump hose you are adapting by 6". You do not have to do this step, but it will give you a neater finish and allow it to fit under the top cover.
- Lubricate the top of the Wye splitter with water, oil, or antifreeze.
- Slide the Wye splitter in the end of the pump hose.
- Attach each of the 6" blue hoses at the end of Wye splitter to the PEX pipe planned for it.
- Secure with the clamp tightening (push it as far together as you can) the connection of the blue hose and the PEX pipe.
- Double check the outgoing and incoming connections you’ve just made for correctness.
- Power up the system and enjoy warm floors.
How to Install the Long Hose Wye Splitter Kit:
- Turn off the HUG Hydronics system by the power switch on the power supply. Check to make sure the "Power" light on the control board is off.
- Locate the silicone hoses (outgoing and return) to which the Wye will be added. Disconnect them from the PEX tubes, and from the pump.
- Connect the new hose to the pump by pushing it on. Put the new hose through the holes the old hose used.
- Replace the return hose with the new Wye splitter hose.
- Attach each of the 6" blue hoses at the end of Wye splitter to the PEX pipe planned for it.
- Secure with the clamp tightening (push it as far together as you can) the connection of the blue hose and the PEX pipe.
- Repeat for each Blue hose/PEX pipe connection.
- Double check the outgoing and incoming connections you’ve just made for correctness.
- Power up the system and enjoy warm floors.
What's Happening in Cottonwood?
Extreme Panel's demonstration house brings building techniques into the real world. As a sponsor, HUG Hydronics is providing Heat-Sheet, PEX, and the in-floor heating distribution system for the project.
Fellow EP Summit sponsor BUILD Show Network is documenting the process with cameras, interviews, and a closer look at each step of the process, leading up to the January 2027 Summit.
See the build come together.
Take a closer look at the project, then explore what radiant in-floor heating could look like in your own home, shop, or garage.

What HUG Hydronics Brings to the Project.
- Start below the slab
- Heat-Sheet insulation provides the foundation for the project's radiant floor.
- Put warmth underfoot
- PEX loops carry heated fluid through the floor, turning the slab into part of the heating system.
- Bring it together with HUG Hydronics
- The HUG Hydronics system brings pumps and controls into a compact system simplifying the mechanical setup that serves the floor.
No. The Wizard is designed to walk you through the basics in plain language. Homeowners and building professionals can use it to explore what their project may need.
HUG Hydronics is sponsoring Extreme Panel's project by providing its in-floor heating materials and system. BUILD Show Network is a fellow EP Summit sponsor documenting the demonstration house. The summit is planned for January 2027.

Nope, and we love Extreme Panel's way of building, however this project showcases only one type of application of HUG's system. HUG Hydronics can also be used in other homes, shops, garages, and ag buildings where radiant floor heating is appropriate.
Have your floor plan or approximate dimensions handy, along with basic details about your insulation, ceiling heights, and windows. Think about which spaces you'd like to control with separate thermostats. The Wizard will guide you through the planning process, and HUG's team can help review your project's needs.
