FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD
. This product 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 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 the requirements of Pentair Thermal Building
Solutions agency certifications, and national electrical codes,
ground-fault equipment protection must be used on each
heating cable branch circuit. Arcing may not be stopped by
conventional circuit protection.
• For pipe freeze protection applications, use only fire-resistant
insulation materials such as preformed foam or fiberglass.
• Do not damage the heating cable and power cord or plug.
Remove any damaged cables from service immediately.
• Do not use any wire or metal clamps to attach the cable to the
pipe. Use tape (1/2 inch wide to 1 inch wide) or plastic cable ties.
• Do not install the heating cable underneath any roof covering
for roof and gutter de-icing.
• Leave these installation instructions with the user for future
reference.
