Installation Precautions . . .
• Keep ends of bundles, heat tracing and kit components
dry before and during installation.
• To minimize the potential for arcing on electrical
heat tracing caused by product damage or improper
installation, use appropriate ground-fault circuit
protection.
• Installation must comply with Thermon requirements
and be installed in accordance with any applicable
national and local codes.
• Component approvals and performance ratings are
based on the use of Thermon specifi ed parts only. User
supplied power connection fi ttings must be listed or
certifi ed for intended use.
• De-energize all power sources before opening
enclosure.
• Individuals installing these products are responsible
for complying with all applicable safety and health
guidelines. Proper personal protective equipment, or
PPE, should be utilized during installation. Contact
Thermon if you have any additional questions.

1.
Remove outer jacket and insulation from tubing
bundle approximately 508mm (20”) from end of
the tubing bundle.
Do not cut or damage the heat
trace or sampling tube.

3. Make tube fi tting connections with appropriate
fi tting (provided by others). Test fi tting for leaks
before proceeding. Mount tube fi tting shifted
from each other in case of multiple tubes.
2. Trim tubing to within 85mm (3-1/4”) of the
end of the insulation. If self regulating heat
trace proceed to step 3. For Zone-type heat trace
continue with identifi cation of bus connection on
step 2a.

2a. Strip back bundle insulation 85mm (3 1/4”)
beyond bus connection indentation of each heat
tracing. If bus connection indentation is less than
305mm (12”)-381mm (15”) from end of the heat
tracing, proceed stripping the bundle insulation
to the next indentation. Trim tubes so the bus
connection indentation on each meet.
