How To - Connect Water Heater
How to Attach a Water Heater Source to Your HUG Hydronics in-floor heating System?
Video Coming Soon!
1. Connect the long blue hoses on each end to the tank to the Water Heater
The blue hose on the right side connects cold water into the water heater. The one on the left side connects warm water from the heater to the tank.
The blue hoses hook to the top of the electric heaters, and the bottom of the gas heaters.
Attach hoses to the wall with half clamps to prevent kinking.
2. Use Clamps to Secure Them
Use white clamps to secure the blue hoses to the water heater on both the outlet and the inlet.
For the HUG Hydronics In-Floor Heating System Pro-line:
1. Use the long blue hoses in the middle of the tank.
2. Slip the metal clamp on the blue hose, push the adaptor in then tighten the clamps with a flat edge screwdriver or a nut driver.
3. Attach to your boiler using teflon tape.
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.
