DESCRIPTION
The nVent RAYCHEM HAK-C-100 is a connection kit designed for use
in Division 1 hazardous locations with the RAYCHEM industrial heating
cables listed on page 2 of these instructions. The kit contains materials
for sealing one heating cable entry when making a power, splice, tee, or
end termination. A heat-shrinkable core seal is provided specifically for
use with LBTV2-CT heating cables. For all other heating cables, a CS-100
cold-applied core seal is provided.
Refer to the Heat-Tracing Systems Design and Installation Guide for
Hazardous Div. 1 Locations (H56075) for assistance in the design of each
heat-trace system. For technical support call nVent at (800) 545-6258.
This component is an electrical device that must
be installed correctly to ensure proper operation
and to prevent shock or fire. Read these important
warnings and carefully follow all of the installation
instructions.
• To minimize the danger of fire from sustained
electrical arcing if the heating cable is
damaged or improperly installed, and to
comply with nVent requirements, agency
certifications, and national electrical codes,
ground-fault equipment protection must
be used. Arcing may not be stopped by
conventional circuit breakers.
• Component approvals and performance are
based on the use of nVent-specified parts only.
Do not substitute parts or use vinyl electrical
tape.
• Keep components and heating cable ends dry
before and during installation.
• The black heating cable core and fibers are
conductive and can short. They must be
properly insulated and kept dry.
• Damaged bus wires can overheat or short. Do
not break bus wire strands when scoring the
jacket or core.
• Use only fire-resistant insulation materials,
such as fiberglass wrap or flame-retardant
foam.
• Heat-damaged components can short. Use
a heat gun or a torch with a soft, yellow,
low-heat flame. Keep the flame moving to
avoid overheating, blistering, or charring the
heat-shrinkable tubes. Avoid heating other
components. Replace any damaged parts.
Health Hazard: Prolonged or repeated contact with
the sealant in the core sealer may cause eye or
skin irritation. Wash hands thoroughly. Overheating
or burning the sealant will produce fumes that may
cause polymer fume fever. Avoid contamination of
cigarettes or tobacco. Consult MSDS VEN 0058 for
further information.
Overheating heat-shrinkable tubes will produce
fumes that may cause irritation. Use adequate
ventilation and avoid charring
or burning. Consult MSDS RAY3122 for further
information.
