    Well....

    you have to spend an hour or two piecing it together and getting a feel for the big picture...put the manifold in the middle and make sure you give your self a way to get back to the manifold w/out dipping below the floor... or as little as possible...try to do it out on paper before if you can...I have a chop saw nearby to customise the turns and lengths...kpc

    remote manifold

    If you utilize injection mixing, you can move the manifold close to the loops and use small diameter tubing to inject the remote manifold. Works great & saves $$$ by eliminating long leader lengths.

    Quick track

    You lay it out the same way you would a staple down,just it's a little more complicated because your locked into the 7" spacing.We have ripped the track to make for tighter near manifold spacing,but that gets a bit more tricky.

    It takes a few jobs to become efficient with it but once your used to working with it things go very fast.For the first one I would lay out a good part of it loose on the floor.Cut yourself a bunch of 90* turns (from the return strips)and start building it like a big puzzel.
