General Connection Kit Information
Raychem RayClic connection kits must be used with
HWAT-R2 heating cable. A complete circuit requires
a power connection and an end seal. Splices and
tees and other connection kits are used as needed.
Use the HWAT System Design Guide (H57510) to
select appropriate connection kits. Installation
instructions are included with every connection kit.
Steps for preparing the heating cable and installing
connection kits must be followed. HWAT connection
kit locations should be noted on “As Built” drawings.
Connection kit locations should be marked on the
outside of the insulation cladding with the labels
provided in the kits.

Connection Kit Installation
• When practical, mount the connection kits on top
of the pipe. All heating cable connections must be
mounted above grade level.
• Leave excess cable to serve as a service loop at
all connection kits (power, splice, cross or tee) for
future maintenance, as detailed in Table 1. The
additional heating cable will easily pay for itself in
time savings if it becomes necessary to check or
replace a connection kit after installation. Splices
and tees should have a service loop on each of the
heating cables entering the connection kit.
