WARNING:
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 of 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 Pentair Thermal Management,
agency certifications, and national electrical codes, ground-
fault equipment protection must be used. Arcing may not be
stopped by conventional circuit breakers.

• Component approvals and performance are based on the use of
Pentair Thermal Management -specified parts only. Do not use
substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
• The black heating cable core and fibers are conductive and can
short. They must be properly insulated and kept dry.
• Damaged bus wires can overheat or short. Do not break bus wire
strands when scoring the jacket or core.
• Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during
installation.
• Use only fire-resistant insulation materials, such as fiberglass
wrap and flame-retardant foam.
