Go to the top of the page, click search, and type in "radiant". You'll find a bunch of info, mostly in the heating and HVAC section.

Most specialty heating and plumbing supply stores will provide a tubing layout plan based on dimensions of your garage. There are many pre-pour pics throughout this forum. The boiler instructions have detailed diagrams on how it all fits together. Again, the store you purchase the supplies from should be able to provide you with all necessary info.

Hey paul,
Here's mine going in. Floated the lines above the floor to align with a wall that would later sit on the concrete after it was poured. It's an internal wall, so I had to go with a double lined vent for the boiler to go through the ceiling and roof.

and, starying to run the lines around the forms for my in floor lift, work in progress:

My plumbing supply company, and my contractor, and my plumber all helped me out on this intall, so I don't know of links to instructions, but I've seen info in the forums, try the search button thingie... More pictures if you need em'.

Best of luck Paul, and post progress pics for us...
Cheers,

Paul,
A few more shots I converted as atachments of the process:

1. The concrete is in, and the wall getting framed
2. Manifold sweating, the start
3. More Manifold swaeting...
4. The isulation and the pipe runs
5. More pipe runs and isulations with tie downs
6. O.K., getting ready for the pour...
7. Pour and wall in, starting the manifold build...

Hope that helps,
Cheers once more..,
Have fun Paul.
