I have to install the heating pad under the tile and I’m not sure about the type of wire to use under the tile. I have two 40″X40″ pads that have to be wired. I have the control unit but not sure of what wire to use under the thinset. Any help will be appreciated. Best regards, Dale

Not sure if you have the same model or not, but all of the NuHeat pads I have installed came pre-wired right to the controller. Usually a hot, neutral and a thermo wire.
I have never used NuHeat, but I have done several floors with Warmly Yours. When you order the pads, you tell them where the control unit is going on the wall and where the pads are going. The company then supplies you with cable leads long enough to do the job. The last thing you want is a splice in the cables, if a splice fails you have to jack hammer up the floor. Also the cable has a ground mesh around the hot and return lead. I have never seen this cable sold anywhere. Contact the company and see what they say to do.
