Attach a butt crimp to either end of the
ground braid using a crimping tool.
Slide the small heat shrink pieces over the
butt crimps so that the entire crimp is
covered. Use a heat gun in order to activate
the heat shrink.
Slide the large pieces of heat shrink over the
small heat shrink and apply the heat gun.
Allow the new joints to cool. Test resistance of
the heater and then tile as normal.
Slide one small piece of heat shrink over both
sections of exposed ground braid. Cut a section
of the “bridge” wire provided to a length

heating element. Strip 0.4 in. (10 mm) from
either end of this wire into the butt crimps
located on the ends of the ground braid and
crimp using the crimping tool.
Slide the small heat shrink pieces over the
butt crimps so that any bare metal is covered.
