Can a standard hose heating system be layed on its side for transport? ...
Answers: Yes, it maybe layed on it side. There are no internal parts that will be artificial by doing this. Hope this helps.
Yes. I assume that it is electric & any an instantaneous or storage type. In either shield, it is ok to transport them on their side. Try to avoid major convulsion as this may have a detrimental affect on the heat elements.
