IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATON
WARNING:
• The normal use of this product is to heat PVC only.
• The use of this product for purposes other than heating PVC pipe
is considered a violation of the warranty.
• Place your PVC Heating Blanket on a secure, dry surface, in a
well-ventilated area.
• Unplug the PVC heating blanket when not in use.
• Keep flammable and combustible materials away from the
blanket and around the work area when blanket is in operation.
• Connect each unit to the proper amperage capacity circuitry and
grounded power source. Be careful not to overheat or overload
your power source.
• We strongly recommend the use of a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protection when using this blanket on any
job site.
• We strongly recommend using an extension cord that is 14
AWG for the PVCHB-38 and 16 AWG for the PVCHB-13 and
PVCHB-30 to prevent the cord from overheating and causing
current loss. Current loss occurs with the natural resistance
of electricity flowing through copper wire acting like friction,
reducing the available voltage. Using long (ex. 25 foot or longer)
and / or undersized extension cords can reduce the heat output
of the heating element because of the resistance that occurs
resulting in slower bending times.
• Keep all decals clean and legible and replace when necessary.
• Think Safety First!
