INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

IMPORTANT!
Heating cable must be properly installed within expediter assembly and mounted to pipe prior to terminating with PETK kit.

See Terminator Installation Instructions for expediter mounting details.

Terminator: Route cable through base entry and mount expediter to pipe using pipe band. Do not band over cable.

For HPT and FP cable exchange grommet supplied in Terminator kit with:
GRW-G provided in PETK-3
GRW-GT2 provided in PETK-3-ECM
GRW-G/Tstat provided in PETK-3-ZT

Step 1: Remove Heating Cable Over jacket and Separate Metallic Braid to Form Pigtail

1. a. Cut and remove heating cable over jacket
   
   Do not cut metallic braid.
   1b. Separate braid strands at edge of over jacket and pull cable through opening in braid.
   
   1c. Twist braid into a pigtail. Trim ends of braid.
   
   Step 2: Matrix Removal for DSX, BSX, VSX-HT, HTSX, RSX, KSX, KSR, USX Cables

2. a. Cut and remove primary insulation jacket (BSX and RSX cables only).
   
   2b. Cut a 4 mm strip of conductive matrix between the conductors.
   Do not cut bus wire strands.
   
   2c. Cut and remove the 4 mm matrix strip.
   
   Step 2: Heating Element Removal for HPT and FP Cables 
   2a. Cut and remove primary insulation jacket.
   
   NOTE: Bus connection must be no more than 50 mm (2”) from pipe as addressed in connection kit instructions.
   2b. Cut and remove fiberglass overlay and heating element. Push any remaining heating element wire under the primary insulation jacket.
   
   2c. Cut and remove pairing jacket.
   
   Do not cut bus wire insulation.
   Step 3: Install Power Boot on Heating Cables

3. a. Apply RTV sealant to cable to cover distance of at least 3 mm and slide boot onto the end of the cable.
   
   3b. Slide boot onto the end of the cable and green ground sleeve over twisted braid. Expose 13 mm (0.5”) of bus wire.
   
   3c. Crimp conductor wire pins on each conductor and on twisted braid if required as per client/project specification (order separately).
   
   Step 4: End Termination for DSX, BSX, VSX-HT HTSX, RSX, KSX, KSR, USX Cables

4. a. Cut and remove heating cable over jacket.
   
   4b. Trim away exposed braid from cable.
   
   4c. Fill the end cap with RTV sealant and apply a circumferential bead to cable [minimum of 3 mm (0.12”) wide]. Slide end cap onto end of cable
   
   Step 4: End Termination for HPT and FP
   4a. Trim the cable 75 mm (3”) from the bus connection.
   
   4b. Cut and remove overjacket and trim away exposed braid from cable.
   
   4c. Cut and remove primary insulation jacket.
   
   4d. Cut and remove fiberglass overlay and heating element. Push any remaining heating element wire under the primary insulation jacket.

4e. Cut and remove pairing jacket. Stagger cut one of the bus wires.

Do not cut bus wire strands.
4f. Tape bus wires individually and then together. Continue taping to cover over jacket. Fill the end cap with RTV sealant and apply a circumferential bead to cable [minimum of 3 mm (0.12”) wide]. Slide end cap onto end of cable.
