This component is an electrical device that must be
installed correctly to ensure proper operation and to
prevent shock or fire. Read these important warnings
and carefully follow all the installation instructions.
• To minimize the danger of fire from sustained
electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged
or improperly installed, and to comply with the
requirements of nVent, agency certifications,
and national electrical codes, ground-fault
equipment protection must be used. Arcing may
not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
• Bus wires will short if they contact each other.
Keep bus wires separated.
• Keep components and heating cable ends dry
before and during installation.
• The black heating cable core is conductive
and can short. It must be properly insulated
and kept dry.
• Component approvals and performance are
based on the use of nVent– specified parts
only. Do not use substitute parts or vinyl
electrical tape.
• Leave these instructions with end user for
reference and future use.
HEALTH HAZARD:
Overheating heat-
shrinkable tubes will produce fumes that may
cause irritation. Use adequate ventilation and
