How To Install System

To choose the right length of pipe freeze protection cable. cable should be long enough to run along bottom of horizontal pipes and weather side of vertical pipes (including valves) without crossing or spiraling. Never use a cable longer than the pipe it is intended to protect.

• Cable will be applied straight along pipe. and will protect pipes up to 1-1/2 in diameter.
• For pipe lengths other than standard heating cable sizes. and over 1/4 in diameter. use two heating cables in parallel on opposite sides of the pipe (see illustration). Maximum overrun should not exceed 3 feet. Do not install on pipe shorter than 3 feet long.
• Wrap the entire pipe and cable with insulation. Complete the installation with the weatherproof wrap and the caution signs. For plastic pipe. we recommend wrapping pipe in aluminum foil before installing cable for better heat distribution.

Simple To Install

This system requires no special wiring or assembly. Simply run cable straight along pipe and valves according to instructions in package. affix with premium application tape. insulate. and plug into a ground fault protected electrical outlet.

• For better heat distribution on plastic pipe. we recommend wrapping the pipe in aluminum foil prior to installation.
• Cable is applied to pipe in a straight line. It is never spiralled or overlapped.
• The temperature sensor is placed in direct contact with pipe.
• The cable is secured to the pipe with application tape (Easy Heat? item HCA).
• For pipes over 19mm (3/4) diameter: If a standard heating cable size can’t fit the length of pipe. use two heating cables in parallel on opposite sides. Maximum overrun must not exceed 0.9m (3ft.).
• The entire pipe and cable is wrapped with pipe insulation. Weatherproof wrap and caution signs are applied to complete the installation (Easy Heat? item CS).
• The cable is plugged into a ground fault-protected 120 Vac electrical outlet.

WARNING:

• Do not spiral cable around pipe or cross cable over itself. Do not use one run of cable for two different pipe runs. Failure to comply may result in overheating and fire.
