Ray Magic NK is a high performance hydronic radiant panel. It instals on the ceiling (and walls) and it is covered with ⅝" regular drywall, to create unobstructed radiant surfaces.
Ray Magic NK comes in 2'x8' size and can be cut down in two 2'x4' panels to fit smaller spaces.

This installation manual describes how to hang the Ray Magic NK panels to the ceiling and gives some basic layout guidance.
To properly size the radiant surface to cover heating and cooling loads consult with a mechanical engineering firm in your area.

How to cut the 2x8 panel to make two 2x4 panels
Remove the tape around the panel
Separate the panels
Must use the proper pipe cutter tool (PCUTPEX) to cut the backbone pipe.
16
How to prep the 16 mm pre-inseulated PEX pipe (PEX1675I or PEX1630I)
Chamfer both side
Insert the insulation again before using the pipe
Rotate the outer reamer tool until the pipe is smooth
Cut the pipe using the pipe cutter tool (PCUTPEX)
Insert the outer reamer tool (PORTPEX) on the pipe
Do not cut less than 3" to facilitate use of the reamer tool

1 ½"
Chamfer each sides of the piece of pipe using the outer reamer tool (PORTPEX)
After plumbing completion, always pressure test the system at 100 psi following the Messana system pressure test and fill/purge procedure downloadable online
Insert pipe into the fitting all up to the pipe stop. If correctly inserted the mark will be aligned with the collar

Make sure the mark is aligned with the fitting collar (pipe fully inserted)
You can use the RM Cap as a template to sign the pipe (1 1/2”)

Chamfer each sides of the piece of pipe using the outer reamer tool (PORTPEX)
Insert the pipes into the fitting up to the pipe stop (on both sides). If correctly inserted the mark will be aligned with the twist lock cap
Twist the screw cap until it touches the body flange to secure the pipe.

This locks the pipe into position and increases the O-ring seal around the pipe.
Make sure the mark is aligned with the fitting collar (pipe fully inserted)
After plumbing completion, always pressure test the system at 100 psi following the Messana system pressure test and fill/purge procedure downloadable online
Mark the pipe with a sharpie at 1 1/2” from the edge

How to disconnect a RM 3-way fitting
Pull easily out the pipe (or RM coupling, or RM cap)
Lift the RM 3-way fitting to access the twist collar and rotate 90 degrees (either CCW or CW)

EDPM triple o-ring
Funnel shaped twist collar
Circular stopping wedge
Ensure th system is decompressed

Insert in order the locking ring (new replacement), the wedge and the o-ring back into the fitting chamber
Cut the pipe right after the lock ring using the proper pipe cutter tool (PCUTPEX). Alternatively cut the lock ring using a cutting plier.
Put the colar back in to the fitting and rotate 90 degrees to lock the RM 3-way fitting (either CCW or CW)

Strap pipes before bending
Never bend pipes connected to the RM 3-way fitting
Use a piece of the pre-insulated 16 mm PEX straight pipe (PEX1675I) for a direct connection
Use the RM coupling and 3" nipple PEX pipe to make a tight connection
