Safety Guidelines
The safety and reliability of any heat-tracing system
depends on the quality of the products selected, and
on proper design, installation, and maintenance.
Incorrect design, handling, installation, or mainte-
nance of any of the system components can cause
underheating or overheating of the pipe, or dam-
age to the heating cable system, and may result in
system failure, electric shock, or fire. The guide-
lines and instructions contained in this guide are
important. Follow them carefully to minimize these
risks and to ensure that the HWAT System performs
reliably.

Typical HWAT System
A typical HWAT System is shown is Figure 1. The
heating cable is cut to length in the field and is
attached to the pipe with glass tape. A power con-
nection kit connects the heating cable bus wires to
power in a junction box. RayClic tees and splices
accommodate pipe branches to connect two or three
heating cables together. An end seal kit is used to
terminate the end of the heating cable. A controller
is used to set the maintain temperature and improve
energy savings.
