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 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.
- Bus wires will short if they contact each other. Keep bus wires separated.
- Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during installation.
- The black heating cable core is conductive and can short. It must be properly insulated and kept dry.
- Component approvals and performance are based on the use of nVent-specified parts only. Do not use substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
- Leave these instructions with end user for reference and future use.
If you experience difficulty during installation, refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” on page 5.

Troubleshooting Guide
| PROBLEM | SOLUTION |
|---|---|
| Braid clips are missing. | The braid clips are attached to the cardboard |
packing insert under the lid. The braid clips must be used to ensure a ground
connection. If clips are missing or lost, call nVent at (800) 545‑6258.
Mounting bracket is missing.| A pipe mounting bracket is supplied with the
Power Connection, Powered Splice, Powered Tee and Lighted End Seal kits. A
wall mounting bracket or additional pipe mounting bracket may be ordered
using one of the catalog numbers listed under “Optional Accessories” on the
front page of these instructions when you place your order.
Connector does not snap onto bracket.| The bracket has two sets of attachment
clips. Fold up the four outer clips for the Power Connection and Lighted End
Seal kit. Fold up only the center clips for the Powered Splice and
Powered Tee kits.
Heating cable type not mentioned.| nVent RAYCHEM RayClic connection kits are
approved for use only with HWAT, XL-Trace Edge, and IceStop heating cables. Do
not use with other heating cables.
Braid clip does not fit.| Be sure the clip is installed on the metal braid,
not on the outer jacket.
Heating cable does not have aluminum wrap.| Only HWAT heating cables have the
aluminum wrap under the braid. Skip the aluminum wrap removal step for XL-
Trace Edge and IceStop heating cables.
Heating cable cannot be inserted into connector.| Check for the following:
• Apply lubricant to heating cable primary (white) jacket.
• Outer jacket strip length is 3 1/8 inches.
• Braid clip is installed on top of the metal braid, not on the outer jacket.
• Braid is pulled back over braid clip.
• For HWAT, 1 inch of braid is removed.
• Sealing nut is loose (but not removed).
• Connection screws are loose.
Lid does not close.| Be sure all screws are fully tightened before closing the
lid.
Heating cable cannot be removed.| The power connection and end seal are
designed to be installed only once; the heating cable cannot be removed once
installed.
Additional nVent RAYCHEM RayClic-E and RayClic-LE end seals can be ordered
from nVent.
Light does not come on.| • Verify there is voltage present.
• Verify the cable guide is screwed down completely.
• If the light still does not function, the RayClic-LE cannot be repaired and
must be replaced.
