Space and Surface Heating), govern the installation of

electrical heat-tracing systems. All heat-tracing-system

installations must be in compliance with these and any

other applicable national or local codes.

1.4 Warranty and Approvals

RAYCHEM heating cables and components are

approved for use in hazardous and nonhazardous

locations. Refer to the specific product data sheets for

details.

1.5 General Installation Notes

These notes are provided to assist the installer

throughout the installation process and should be

reviewed before the installation begins.
• Read all instruction sheets to familiarize yourself with

the products.

• Select the heating cable type and rating in accordance

with the Industrial Product Selection and Design

Guide (nVent literature #H56550), or TraceCalc Pro

software, or the website design software.

• Ensure all pipes, tanks, etc., have been released

by the client for tracing prior to installation of the

heating cables.

• Typically, heating cables are installed at the 4 and

8 o’clock positions on a pipe.

• All heat-traced pipes, tanks, vessels, and equipment

must be thermally insulated.

• Do not install heating cables on equipment

operating above the heating cable’s maximum rated

temperature.

• The minimum bending radius for VPL Power-Limiting

cables is 3/4 inch (19 mm). The minimum bending

radius for Self-Regulating cables is 1/2 inch (13 mm).

• Never install heating cables over expansion joints

without leaving slack in the cable.

• Do not energize cable when it is coiled or on the reel.
• Never use tie wire or pipe straps to secure heating

cables.

• The minimum installation temperature for heating

cables is –40°F (–40°C).
