K-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.
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
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 KCABSK).

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
between 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.
