Messana NK (Naked) is a high performance hydronic radiant panel. It is installed within the ceiling (and/or walls) and it is covered with 5⁄8” regular drywall, wood, or other ceiling material, to create an unobstructed radiant surface.
The panel consists of a 11⁄2” thick EPS board covered by aluminum heat transfer plates with propriety omega shaped channels. Two symmetrical 8 mm [5⁄16“] PEX radiant tubing circuits are laid out in a serpentine pattern and pressed into these channels. Each tubing circuit is connected in parallel to 5⁄8” PEX return and supply lines that run the length of the panel. Panels are connected using patented slide-in fitting technology that allows for internal PEX piping expansion and contraction.
