SRK02 Hard Wire Power Connection Kit

DESCRIPTION:

SR self-regulating heating cables

are designed for a variety of pipe

freeze protection as well as roof

and gutter deicing applications.

The heat output (wattage)

increases and decreases based on

the temperature, so the cable

adjusts automatically to varying

climate conditions. This unique

feature ensures maximum energy

efficiency by increasing the heat

output only when it is needed. No

thermostat is required.

DESCRIPTION The SRK02 hard wire power connection kit is to be used with King SR self regulating heating cables only. The kits are not approved to be used with other brands of heating cable. The kit contains enough material for making one hard wire power connection and one end seal. King SR cables are approved for both pipe freeze protection and roof and gutter deicing applications.

1 If using a weatherproof seal tight fitting (not provided with kit) , slide the fitting onto the end of the cable as shown above. 2 3 Cut the braid and push it back to loosen it as shown. Bend the cable and gently pull it through the braid. 4 5 Notch the conductive core at the end and twist it back to peel the bus wires from the core. 6 www.king-electric.com Rev 10.21.12 Lightly score completely around and then down outer jacket a distance of 7”. Do not cut braid or inner jacket.

7 Slide the black 5 1/2” x 1/8” heat shrink tubes over the bus wires and apply heat. 9 Place the 1/2” x 1” heat shrink tube over the cable as shown. 11 Immediately pinch the tube with pliers between the bus wires while it is still hot and hold for 10 seconds www.king-electric.com 8 10 12 Rev 10.21.12 Slide the green/yellow 5 1/2” x 1/8” heat shrink tube over the grounding braid and apply heat. Make sure the heat tube overlaps the outer jacket by ½” as shown and then apply heat to shrink the.

13 Insert cable and tighten junction box fitting. 14 Use wire nuts (not included in kit) to make connections between supply wires and heating cable wires, in addition to the ground wires. Not intended for use with aluminum wire. ELECTRICAL CODES Article 426 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), and Part 1, Section 62 of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), govern the installation of SRP heating cables for roof and gutter deicing and must be followed. www.king-electric.
