Read and understand this entire
manual before operating this electric
heating tape.
STEP 1
Remove heater from box. Make visual
inspection of heater. Do not use if torn or
damaged.
STEP 2
Installing your heating tape:
The fl exible
heating tape can be installed on both a fl at
and/or curved surface. For a fl at surface,
lay the heating tape onto the surface to
be heated. For a curved surface, wrap the
heating tape onto the surface to be heated
(A)
. The length of one entire side of the
heating tape must be in full contact with
the surface.
The thermostat (the raised disc) on the 3”
long oval block must be placed tightly and
directly against the surface to be heated
(B)
. Secure the thermostat in place.
The thermostat should be placed on the
coldest end of the pipe. The thermostat
will turn the heater on and off based on
the temperature of the area of pipe it is
against.
Ensure the heating tape is not kinked,
twisted, or any portion of the tape hanging
free from the surface
(C)
.
Do not over-
lap heating tape on itself (D).
Attach
the heating tape to the surface by using
aluminum tape, fi berglass tape, or a me-
chanical clamping devices which will not
cause damage to the heating tape.
STEP 3
Plug power cord into appropriate
grounded outlet.
A.) Proper Installation
(pipe and valve)
D.) Incorrect Installation:

C.) Incorrect Installation:
Heating tape hanging free from the surface
B.) Thermostat against surface
