Caution: The heater will come in contact with the power feed wires in the
junction box. Make sure that the temperature rating of the power feed wire
insulation is adequate for the heater used.
Ground Fault Equipment Protection Devices (GFEPDs):
The IEEE standard (515-2004) for heating cables requires the use of GFEPDs
with a nominal 30 milliampere trip level for “piping systems in classified areas,
those areas requiring a high degree of maintenance, or which may be exposed
to physical abuse or corrosive atmospheres.”

NOTE
An HSB (heat shrinkable boot) or
ESB (end seal boot) or RTV sealant
is recommended for sealing the
bundle end.
NOTE
If an HSB (heat shrinkable boot)
or ESB (end seal boot) is used to
seal the end of the bundle, the
boot must be installed prior to
installing the base of the heating
cable.
Bundle End Preparation: Used in all connection types.
NOTE
The IEEE standards (515-2004)
for heating cables require the
use of GFEPDs with a nominal 30
milliampere trip level for “piping

exposed to physical abuse or

1
Measure 24 inches from end of
bundle and carefully cut around
and lengthwise through jacket and
insulation. Do not cut into heating
cable or tubing.
2
Remove jacket, insulation and heat

Instructions for Splice or Tee Connections
Note: These steps should be followed if making a splice connection.
2
Cut end of heating cable diagonally
to make is easier to push through
grommet in base of pipe stand.
1
Once you have completed setups 1
and 2 of the “Bundle Preparation”
instructions, your bundles should
look similar to the one shown here.
Heat shrink boots are shown in this
example as the end seal method;
however, RTV can also be used.
Use appropriate tube fitting avail-
able from Parker Instrumentation
Connectors Division.
3
Mount the standoff to the bundle
using pipe straps provided. Select
the appropriate size depending upon
the bundle size. Allow approximately
7 inches of heating cable to extend
beyond sealing grommet for easier
power termination.
Slide the seal grommet over the
heating cable and position the
grommet in the standoff.
Note: If heater wire is braided
only, heat shrink sleeve must be
shrunk on wire, then slid through
grommet so that grommet opening
is completely sealed.
Once in place, prepare heating cable
end per “Heating Cable Preparation”
steps 1-6.

The exposed tube and heating cable
area between bundles should be
reinsulated and sealed using a
Parker SK-612 Seal Patch Kit
provided. Additional SK kits
available in 3 different sizes at
your local Parker Instrumentation
Distributor.
Make electric splice connection
inside box with heating cables from
each bundle. Using two butt splice
connectors, splice together heater
bus wires. Follow “Heating Cable
Preparation” at end of manual.
Using ring terminals, crimp terminal
rings onto braided pigtails and
tighten to back of box with ground
screw. Note: One ground screw may
be used for both wires if necessary.
Wrap bus wire connections with
fiberglass tape. Bus wire connections
must not touch inside box, otherwise
a short circuit will occur.

Instructions for Power Connection
Note: These steps should be followed if making a power connection.
1
If using heat shrink boots, place heat
shrink boot onto bundle and feed
heater wire, tube, and other acces-
sories through openings. Heat boot
carefully until it shrinks down and all
ends are completely sealed. (HSB-2
2-leg boot shown is sold separately.
RTV-103BLK sealant supplied with
kit can also be used instead of HSB’s
to seal bundle ends).
Follow steps 1 through 4 of
“Instructions for Splice or Tee
Connections.”

cable end per “Heating Cable
Preparation,” steps 1 through 6.

Once cable preparation is complete,
twist junction box onto the pipe
standoff.
Make electric splice connection
inside box with heating cable and
cable from power source. Using two
butt splice connectors, splice heater
bus wires to power source
Using ring terminals, crimp terminal
rings onto braided pigtail and tighten
to back of box with ground screw.
Wrap bus wire connections
with fiberglass tape. Bus wire
connections must not touch inside
box, otherwise a short circuit will
occur.

Heating Cable Preparation: Used in all connection types.
Note: These steps should be followed at the point where “Heating Cable Preparation” is noted in
the instructions.
WARNING
Do not cut through the metal braid
of the heating cable. Effective
ground cannot be made if the
metal braid is removed.
1
Score the outer insulation 6.5 inches
from the end of the cable. Lightly cut
the outer jacket up the center to the
end of the heating cable and peal off
the outer jacket.
2
Push braid back toward outer jacket
to create a pucker.
3
At the bulge, separate the braid
to make an opening in the braid
without cutting it.
4
While bending the heating cable,
work the cable through the braid
opening. Pull the braid tight.
5
Score the inner jacket that is under
the braid 3 inches from the end.
Lightly cut the jacket up the center
to the end of heating cable and peal
away that section.
6
Shave the core material from
outside of each bus wire.

Heating Cable Electrical End Seal: Used in all connection types. The following steps should be
completed to seal the heating cable from moisture at the non-powered end.
Note: After following steps 1 through 5, the bundle insulated end must be sealed with either a heat
shrink boot HSB or RTV-103BLK. RTV is supplied with kit; HSB’s sold separately.
2
Cut heating cable approximately 3"
from bundle end.
1
Using a sharp knife, carefully
cut and remove sufficient jacket,
insulation and heat transfer foil
for your application from end of
product exposing process tube(s)
and heating cable.
CAUTION
When cutting jacket and insula-
tion, take great care not to cut into
heating cable. Cutting heating
cable may cause electrical mal-
functions.
3
Using a sharp knife, carefully score
and cut away 2" of over jacket and
wire braid.
CAUTION
When cutting heating cable over
jacket, take care not to cut into
bus wires. Cutting bus wires may
cause electrical malfunctions.
NOTE
Either a hot air gun or propane
torch may be used to shrink heat
shrinkable tube. A wide tipped
flame must be used to prevent
burning the tube. When using a
torch, keep flame moving to avoid
scorching.
Place small yellow heat shrinkable
tube over end of heating cable base
strip and heat until tube shrinks
around cable. Using pliers, while
tube is still hot, pinch end of tube
to seal.
4
Place long yellow heat shrinkable
tube over previously installed
shrinkable tube and entire heating
cable visible. Heat until tube shrinks
around cable. Using pliers, while
tube is still hot, pinch end of tube
to seal.
5NOTE
When heating shrinkable boot,
begin applying heat at tube end
first and completely shrink boot
around tube. Once boot is enclosed
around tube, move heat source
towards bundle end. This will
prevent heat shrinkable boot from
pulling off bundle when applying
heat.
