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

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

• 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.
