• Use insulated bus
wire crimps and
CT-100 crimp tool
to connect black
and white wires to
bus wires of heat-
ing cable. Polarity
does not matter.
• Use uninsulated braid crimp and
CT-570 crimp tool to connect
braid to ground wire.
• Wrap black cloth tape evenly
around crimp and splice.
• Cover crimp completely.
• Center the 5-inch heat-shrinkable
tube over the splice. Make sure
tube extends over the end of each
heating cable and the cord.
• Shrink the tube completely. Start
at the middle and work toward
each end. Keep heating after tube
has shrunk, to melt mastic and
adhesive inside tube. Total
heating time should
be about 2 minutes.
• Immediately after
shrinking, pinch first
one end of the tube
and then the other
end with needle-
nose pliers until the
ends stay sealed.
This normally takes
10 seconds per end.
• Remove release paper from mastic strips.
• Wrap one strip of mastic around the
white wire against the end of the
splice to provide a water block.
• Repeat for the black wire.
• Squeeze
the mastic
together.
