HOW TO INSTALL SYSTEM

To choose the right length of pipe freeze protection cable,

cable should be long enough to run along bottom of

horizontal pipes and weather side of vertical pipes (in-

cluding valves) without crossing or spiraling. Never use

a cable longer than the pipe it is intended to protect.

1. Refer to the chart inside or on the package for

proper cable selection.

2. Cable will be applied straight along pipe, and will

protect pipes up to 1½ inches in diameter.*

3. For pipe lengths other than standard heating cable sizes,

and over 1/4 inch in diameter, use two heating cables in

parallel on opposite sides of the pipe (see illustration). Maxi-

mum “overrun” should not exceed 3 feet. Do not install on

pipe shorter than 3 feet long.**

4. Wrap the entire pipe and cable with insulation. Com-

plete the installation with the weatherproof wrap and the

caution signs. For plastic pipe, we recommend wrapping

pipe in aluminum foil before installing cable for better heat

distribution.

WARNING: Frost King recommends using a ground

fault protected receptacle.

* For pipe diameters

greater than 1

inches,

please contact your

Frost King representative.
