FE-Series Heating Cable Installation Instructions

POWER INPUT CONNECTION INSTALLATION

Only authorized and trained personnel should perform the following procedure. The hazard of
electrical shock exists with any electrical installation project. Disconnect all supply power at the
source prior to making the heating cable power input connections.
CAUTION
A temperature controller is required for all constant-wattage heating cable
STEP 1:
Prepare heating cable end as specified under
"Lead Termination Preparation". Insert
approximately 8 in (200 mm) of the heating cable
(s) through the bottom of the cast aluminum pipe
standoff, making sure the first module point stays
in contact with the pipe.
NOTE: A maximum of three cables fit through
pipe standoff.
STEP 3:
Ensure the junction box chosen is equipped with a minimum of two 1
in NPT female threaded hubs. Secure junction box onto the standoff.
Pull the input power source wiring through the associated opening
into the junction box. Connect the heating cable lead wires to a
temperature controlling device and input power source wiring using
wire nuts provided. Be sure to follow temperature controlling device
installation instructions. If applicable, secure the braided pigtail
ground to the standoff using the standoff ground screw provided or to
the junction box using the junction box ground screw/receptacle.
Ensure an adequate earth ground is provided to safely ground the
Close the junction box and attach the Caution
entire assembly.

.
STEP 2:
Place the standoff on the pipe surface at the
point where the supply wiring and associated
fittings will connect to the pipe heat tracing
cable. Fasten the standoff to the pipe with pipe
straps. Fill the top of the standoff with Silicone
RTV to provide a moisture seal between the
pipe and electrical junction box. Make certain
there are no voids between the cable and pipe
standoff. Allow an appropriate amount of time
for the Silicone RTV to cure.

SPLICE INSTALLATION

WARNING
Only authorized and trained personnel should perform the following procedure. The hazard of
electrical shock exists with any electrical installation project. Disconnect all supply power at the source
prior to making the heating cable power input connections.
STEP 1:
Prepare the heating cable ends to be spliced together as specified under "Lead Termination
Preparation".
CAUTION: Never connect the two parallel conductors of the heating cable together.
STEP 2:
Insert the heating cable cold leads up through the pipe standoff and into the junction box. Attach the
pipe standoff and junction box to the pipe where the splice is to be located. Fasten it with appropriately
sized pipe clamps.
NOTE: A maximum of three cables fit through pipe standoff.
STEP 3:
Connect the leads of the heating cable ends together using wire nuts as shown in the illustrations (wire
nuts are not provided with FECABSK).
Tee Splice
STEP 4:
Connect the terminal lugs on the braid leads to a grounded screw on the pipe standoff or on the junction
box.
NOTE: The junction box and pipe standoff must be grounded.
STEP 5:
Test the cable installation for continuity and insulation resistance. The insulation resistance
the bus wires and the metallic braid must be greater than 50 megohms at 500 volts. Close the
junction box and attach the Caution Label to the cover of the junction box.
