SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
This product is designed and manufactured to prevent water pipes from freezing. Improper
installation, use or maintenance of this electrical heating cable can cause fire, electric shock or
freezing of pipe.
Heating cables must be installed in compliance with all national, state, provincial and local
codes. Check with your local electrical inspector for specific details.
WARNING: Never install the heating cable on a plastic pipe unless the pipe
is continually filled with water. Use plastic (including PEX tubing) piping
material suitable for residential water applications. Never spiral heating
cable on the pipe. Install the heating cable straight along the pipe. To
ensure even heat distribution, we strongly recommend wrapping plastic
pipes with aluminum adhesive foil tape before applying the heating cable.
WARNING: Use on water pipes only and comply with these important
instructions. The minimum pipe length should be 3 ft (90 cm).
WARNING: Strictly adhere to the following guidelines. Failure to do so
could cause the heating cable to overheat and result in a serious fire
hazard or electrical shock.
1.
Never
plug in the heating cable while it is coiled.
2.
Never
install so that external heat sources might overheat installation. Do not use the
heating cable on pipes heated above 65°C (150°F) such as steam lines.
3.
Never
alter this heating cable in any way. If made shorter, it will overheat. Any attempt to
physically alter the heating cable will void the warranty. Once cut, the heating cable cannot
be repaired.
4. The temperature sensor and the entire heating cable must be in contact with the pipe.
5.
Never
use metal binding to secure heating cable to the pipe.
6. Do not install the same cable on more than one pipe. Doing so could cause the heating
cable to overheat and may result in fire or electrical shock.
7.
Never
allow the heating cable to touch, cross or overlap itself at any point. Doing so will
cause the heating cable to overheat and could result in fire or electrical shock.
8.
Never
install heating cable in walls, floors or ceilings.
9. Combustible material must not be within ½ in. (13 mm) of the completed installation.
