WIRING

INSTALLING THE THERMOSTAT

1.  Verify that the thermostat is 

suitable for the area where it is to 
be installed. 

2.  Check the line voltage and the 

heat-tracing load to ensure that 
the thermostat ratings are not 
exceeded.

3.  Mount the unit using unistrut or the Raychem universal 

mounting bracket (UMB-263757) in a position that prevents 
condensation from draining into the enclosure from the 
connecting conduit (see diagram above).

POSITIONING THE SENSOR BULB 

4.  Position the bulb in the 

lower quadrant of the pipe 
as shown in the diagrams 
to the left. Place the bulb 
at least three feet from 
pipe supports, valves, or 
other heat sinks; protect 
the capillary from kinks or 
bends less than 1⁄2 inch in 
radius. 

5.  Tape the bulb firmly to the pipe with AT-180 aluminum tape, 

making sure there is no air space between the bulb and pipe. 
Do not overlap the bulb and heating cable with the same piece 
of AT-180 tape.

6.  For metal-tank-wall sensing, use the BCK-35 bulb clamp 

(purchased separately) and install the clamp per the 
instructions provided. Make sure there is no air space between 
the tank wall and the bulb. 

 

For installation on plastic tanks, contact Pentair Thermal 
Management at (800) 545-6258.

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT

7.  Set the thermostat dial to the desired temperature, then finish 

wiring.

8.  Complete insulating. Do not turn the system on until the bulb is 

covered with thermal insulation.

9.  Fill the piping or tank. Once the thermostat has begun to cycle, 

check the fluid temperature with an immersed thermostat 
(best for plastic systems) or an accurate temperature indicator. 
Adjust the dial setting if necessary.
