Product Information
The End Termination Kit for Overjacketed is designed for use with Thermon Self-Regulating Heating Cables. The kit style is ET-4S and it can be installed in ordinary locations. The kit components include an end cap, heat shrink tube, heating cable, and encapsulant.
Product Usage Instructions
- Remove 1/2 (13 mm) of the over jacket from the cable end and trim away the exposed braid with scissors. Cover the braid by wrapping it with tape.
- Slip the ET-4S heat shrink tube over the cable end.
- Shrink the ET-4S end cap with a heat gun, uniformly applying heat to the end cap.
- Heat until the end cap has completely shrunk down to the cable size, and the encapsulant has flowed out of the end.
- For roof and gutter applications, do not install the end termination where it can be exposed to standing water. Use Thermon cable roof fastener RG-CRF or equivalent to permanently mount the end termination above water level.
Note: The semi-conductive heating matrix should not be exposed.
