TO NEVER CUT THE HEATING CABLE
(Minimum distance between adjacent runs of
cable and minimum bending radius are 2 inches).
The Nexans Millimat is constructed of a blue twin conductor cable attached to a white
poly mesh mat. The cable is spaced at a fixed 3.15” On Center Spacing with tape and comes with 8 feet of cold
lead on one end . The Millimats are designed to provide 12 watts per square foot.

Electrical Code and Safety:
(In addition, the installation shall be in accordance with the
regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction.) Caution:
All heating mat installations shall be installed according to the National Electric
Code (NEC) Article 424 for space heating.
This equipment shall only be installed by
qualified personnel, who are familiar with the construction, operation, and installation.
Plan the installation by identifying the area you would like to heat minus the permanent fixtures. The distance
between the mat and non-heated areas shall be no closer than 1 inch. Select the correct Millimat(s) with
respect to the heated area and the 1 inch margin as specified. The heating cable cannot cross or touch itself
and cannot be placed in or under a wall, therefore
the area of the Millimat(s) must be slightly smaller
than the heated area. When cutting and adjusting
the mesh,ensure that the cables are kept at the
same distance from each other as the cables on the
mat itself. The heating cable shall not touch or
overlap itself. The splice MUST be buried in the
masonry. This is the point at which the heating
cable is attached to thecold lead. Only the cold
lead can be out of the Masonry or concrete and run
into the conduit.
