and cut away 2" of over jacket and
wire braid.
CAUTION
When cutting heating cable over
jacket, take care not to cut into
bus wires. Cutting bus wires may
cause electrical malfunctions.
NOTE
Either a hot air gun or propane
torch may be used to shrink heat
shrinkable tube. A wide tipped
flame must be used to prevent
burning the tube. When using a
torch, keep flame moving to avoid
scorching.
Place small yellow heat shrinkable
tube over end of heating cable base
strip and heat until tube shrinks
around cable. Using pliers, while
tube is still hot, pinch end of tube
to seal.

Place long yellow heat shrinkable
tube over previously installed
shrinkable tube and entire heating
cable visible. Heat until tube shrinks
around cable. Using pliers, while
tube is still hot, pinch end of tube
to seal.

NOTE
When heating shrinkable boot,
begin applying heat at tube end
first and completely shrink boot
around tube. Once boot is enclosed
around tube, move heat source
towards bundle end. This will
prevent heat shrinkable boot from
pulling off bundle when applying
heat.
