Installation Summary
-
Cut and remove the outer jacket 5.5inch (140mm) from the top of the cable (for heating cable without outer jacket, skip this step).
-
Unbraid the braid from the top of the cable. Disperse into two strands, align, and twist.
-
Straighten and twist the two strands into one. Cut and remove the inner insulation 4inch (100mm) from the top of the cable.
-
Shave the black core material from the outside of each bus wire.
-
Peel back the bus wires from the core material and remove the remaining core material.
- Insert the two bus wires into Ø3 (3inch/75mm) black heat shrink tubes individually, then heat evenly side-to-side.
- Slide the Ø12 (2inch/50mm) heat shrink tube into position, heat until glue comes out from both ends, then pinch between the two wires and hold for at least 10 seconds with pliers.
