Position the Power Leads & Factory Splice
STEP 4.8
Carefully cut the tie binding the power lead coil.
Do not nick the braid covering the power lead.
Locate the Factory Splice to ensure the power
lead will reach the SunStat electrical box or
junction box location. It is acceptable to run
the power leads several feet in the floor area
embedded in mortar if needed.
STEP 4.9
Draw an outline around the Factory Splice and
move it aside. Chisel a shallow channel to allow
the Factory Splice to lay flat with the rest of the
heating cable in the channel. Add hot glue in
the channel and set the Factory Splice in place.
