7.
Peel exposed wires back from center conductive
core.
8.
Cut and remove remaining center of core, leaving
bare conductors.
CAUTION:
Do not cut bus wires.
9.
Slide 1/8” x 1.0” (0.3 cm x 2.5 cm) shrink tubes over
each bus wire. Shrink tubing, by moving heat source
continuously from side to side. Total heating time
should be about 2 minutes. While shrinking, ensure
that tubes remain against black core.
10.
Center the 0.5” x 1.0” (1.3 cm x 2.5 cm) heat-
shrinkable tube over the end of the heating cable as
shown. Heat tube evenly until it shrinks and
adhesive flows out both ends. Shrink the tube
completely. Total heating time should be about 3
minutes.
11.
Immediately after shrinking, pinch with needle nose
pliers between wires while tube is still hot. Hold for
10 seconds to ensure seal.
Make sure the heat shrink tube is completely sealed
between two insulated bus wires and has no visible
gap.
Repeat steps 1-11 for all heating cables to be
spliced together.
