DEScRIpTION
The WinterGard power connection kit is for use only with the following
WinterGard heating cables: H311, H611, H612, H621, and H622.
Materials for one power connection and one end seal are included.
All WinterGard heating cables are designed for water-pipe freeze
protection applications. Only the H612 and H622 cables can be used for
both pipe freeze protection and roof and gutter de-icing applications.
Do not use this kit with aluminum feed wires. For additional technical
support call Pentair Thermal Management at (800) 545-6258.
Note: For WinterGard heating cables in pipe heating applications, refer
to pages 3–5. For WinterGard Wet heating cables H612 and H622 in
roof and gutter de-icing applications, refer to pages 6–8.
TOOLS REqUIRED
• Needle nose pliers
• Pen
• Propane torch or heat gun
• Diagonal cutters
• Utility knife
• Panduit CT100 crimp tool
• Adjustable wrench
• Screwdriver
ADDITIONAL MATERIALS REqUIRED
• UL Listed or CSA Certified junction box suitable for the location, with
a clearance hole for 1/2-inch conduit or 1/2-inch NPT threaded hub.
• For H311, H611, and H621, you must use a metallic junction box to
ensure proper grounding.
• Your application may require additional WinterGard accessories;
for example, H903 application tape for pipe applications; H913/
H914 roof clips and/or H915 downspout hangers for roof and gutter
de-icing applications.
These components are electrical devices. They must be installed correctly to
ensure proper operation and to prevent shock or fire. Carefully follow all of
the installation instructions and read these important warnings.
• 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 Pentair Thermal Management and national electrical codes,
ground-fault equipment protection must be used on each heating cable
branch circuit. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit protection.
• Component approvals and performance are based on the use of specified
parts only. Do not substitute parts or use vinyl electrical tape.
• The black heating-cable core is conductive and can short. It must be
properly insulated and kept dry.
• Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during
installation.
• Damaged bus wires can overheat or short. Do not break braid or bus wire
strands when scoring the jacket or core.
• Bus wires will short if they contact each other. Keep bus wires separated.
• Heat-damaged components can short. Use a heat gun or a torch with a
soft, yellow, low-heat flame, not a blue focused flame. Keep the flame
moving to avoid overheating, blistering, or charring the heat-shrinkable
tubes. Avoid heating other components. Replace any damaged parts.
• Use only fire-resistant insulation materials such as fiberglass wrap.
• Leave these installation instructions with the user for future reference.
Charring or burning the heat-shrinkable tubes in this kit will produce fumes
that may cause eye, skin, nose, and throat irritation. Consult Material Safety
Data Sheet RAY3122.
