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, agency certifications,
and national electrical codes, ground-fault equipment
protection must be used. Arcing may not be stopped by
conventional circuit breakers.
• The power connection may be powered by more than one circuit.
Be sure all power sources are de-energized before opening box.

• Component approvals and performance are based on the use of
Pentair 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 or flame-retardant foam.

DESCRIPTION
The JBM-100-A and JBM-100-A6 are NEMA 4X-rated connection kits. They are
designed for use with Raychem BTV-CR, BTV-CT, QTVR-CT, XTV-CT, KTV-CT
and VPL-CT industrial parallel heating cables. The kits can be used to connect
one, two, or three heating cables to power, to connect two separate heat-trace
circuits, or to splice or tee up to three heating cables. The JBM-100-A6 kit
utilizes larger terminal blocks to accommodate up to 6 AWG power wires.
Note: For two or more heating cables powered by a single circuit, the length of
each heating cable should not exceed the maximum allowable circuit length
published in the Raychem self-regulating cables design guide and the total
current of all heating cables on the circuit should equal no more than 80% of the
circuit breaker current rating.
These kits may be installed at temperatures as low as –40°F (–40°C). For easier
installation store above freezing until just before installation.

CAUTION:
HEALTH HAZARD: Prolonged or repeated contact with the
sealant in the core sealer may cause skin irritation. Wash hands
thoroughly. Overheating or burning the sealant will produce
fumes that may cause polymer fume fever. Avoid contamination
of cigarettes or tobacco. Consult MSDS VEN 0058 for further
information.
