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 nVent,
agency certifications, and national electrical codes,
ground-fault equipment protection must be used. Arcing
may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
• Be sure all power sources are de-energized before opening box.
• Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and
during installation.
• Component approvals and performance are based on the use
