For pipe diameters from 3/8 inches to 3/4 inches, cable can be up
to 2 feet shorter than pipe. For pipe diameters from 1 inch to 1-1/2
inches, apply two separate cables on opposite sides of the pipe,
starting from opposite ends following installation instructions.
Overrun in the middle of the pipe should not exceed 3 feet.
WARNING: the following nine points must be strictly
adhered to. Failure to do so could cause overheating
and result in serious fire hazard or electrical shock.
1.
plug in the heating cable while it is coiled.
2.
install so that external heat source(s) might overheat installa-
tion. Do not use heating cable on pipes heated above 155°F
such as steam lines.
3.
alter this heating cable in any way. If made shorter, it will
overheat. Any attempt to physically alter the heating cable
will void the warranty. Once cut, the heating cable cannot be
repaired.
4. The thermostat and the entire heating cable must be in contact
with the pipe.
5.
use metal binding to secure heating cable to pipe.

general installation instructions
Automatic Pipe Heating Cable on Metal Water Pipe
(See "Special Notes for Plastic Pipes" below.)
1.
Read through the entire instruction sheet before you begin.
Make sure you have selected the correct length of heating cable.
2.
Before applying the heating cable, make sure that the area on and
around the pipe is free and clear of sharp edges and combustible
materials. Remove old heat tapes before proceeding and use the file
to remove any sharp edges.
3.
The minimum installation temperature of the cable is 15°F (-10°C). Never install
the AHB when the cable is colder than this temperature. If heating cable
is stiff (due to cold), first uncoil it and then plug it into a 120v outlet until
it is warm and pliable before unplugging it and applying it to the pipe.
allow heating cable to touch, cross or overlap itself at
install heating cable in walls, floors or ceiling.
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses during installation.
