WARNING:

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 the requirements of nVent, agency certifications, and national electrical codes, ground-fault equipment protection must be used. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
Explosion and shock hazard. Do not disconnect while the circuit is live or unless the area is free of ignitible concentrations.
Component approvals and performance are based on the use of nVent – specified parts only. Do not use substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
The black heating cable core and fibers are conductive and can short. They must be properly insulated and kept dry.
Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during installation.
Bus wires will short if they contact each other. Keep bus wires separated.
Use only fire-resistant insulation materials, such as fiberglass wrap or flame-retardant foam.
Leave these installation instructions with the user for future use.

CAUTION:

HEALTH HAZARD: Prolonged or repeated contact with the sealant in the end seal boot may cause 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.
