Tips
- Never alter or cut the length of the heating cable in any way. Any alteration may result in electrical shock or fire.
- Cable should not run through the building walls, ceilings or floors.
- Never use metal binding to secure heating cable to pipe.
- The thermostat and the entire heating cable has to be in contact with the tape.
Testing the cable before the installation.
Uncoil the cable, plug in the heating cable and then put the thermostat part of the cable into an ice bucket for few minutes. When the temperature is below 37F, the thermostat will energize the cable to work. Normally you can feel the slight warm on the heating cable in few minutes.
