DESCRIPTION

The nVent RAYCHEM E-100-A is a NEMA 4X-rated end seal kit.
It is designed for use with nVent RAYCHEM BTV-CR, BTV-CT,
QTVR-CT, XTV-CT, KTV-CT, HTV-CT and VPL-CT industrial parallel heating cables. Once installed, the end seal is easily re-entered for maintenance; the heating cable can be accessed without removing the end seal.

This kit may be installed at temperatures as low as –67°F (–55°C). For easier installation store above freezing until just before installation.
For technical support call nVent at (800) 545-6258.

WARNING:

This component is an electrical device that must be installed correctly to ensure proper operation and to prevent shock or fire. Read these important warnings and carefully follow all of the installation instructions.

To minimize the danger of fire from sustained electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged or improperly installed, and to comply with the requirements of nVent, agency certifications, and national electrical codes, ground-fault equipment protection must be used. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
Explosion and shock hazard. Do not disconnect while the circuit is live or unless the area is free of ignitible concentrations.
Component approvals and performance are based on the use of nVent – specified parts only. Do not use substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
The black heating cable core and fibers are conductive and can short. They must be properly insulated and kept dry.
Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during installation.
Bus wires will short if they contact each other. Keep bus wires separated.
Use only fire-resistant insulation materials, such as fiberglass wrap or flame-retardant foam.
Leave these installation instructions with the user for future use.

CAUTION:

HEALTH HAZARD: Prolonged or repeated contact
with the sealant in the end seal boot may cause skin irritation. Wash hands thoroughly. Overheating or burning the sealant will produce fumes that may cause polymer fume fever. Avoid contamination of cigarettes or tobacco. Consult MSDS VEN 0058 for further information.

Heating Cable Types

Allow approximately 24 in (60 cm) of heating cable for installation. For VPL, cut cable 12 in (30 cm) from bus indentation.
Cut off heating cable end at about 45° for easier insertion.
Optional: If stand is to be installed on bottom side of pipe, knock out drain hole prior to inserting cable.
Push 12 in (30 cm) of heating cable through stand. Use cable lubricant if needed.
Square off cable end with 90° cut
Determine heating cable type and continue as shown.
Pull heating cable back through bottom of end seal stand until braid is just visible above strain relief. Use cable lubricant if needed.

CAUTION: Health Hazard. Wash hands after contact with sealant. Consult material safety data sheet VEN 0058.
Push boot onto the end of the heating cable until it bottoms out.
Install cap; tighten until the slot on the cap and the slot on the stand align
Fasten end seal to pipe with strap. Do not pinch heating cable.
Install cable tie.
Loop and tape extra heating cable to pipe.
Apply insulation and cladding.
Weather-seal the stand entry.
Fasten end seal label to insulation.
Leave these installation instructions with the user for future reference.
CAUTION: To avoid pinching the heating cable, be sure the cable is not under the pipe strap.

Clip cable tie and remove.
Unscrew cap from end seal stand.

CAUTION: Health Hazard. Wash hands after contact with sealant. Consult material safety data sheet VEN 0058.
Grab black ring and remove boot.
Test as required.
Refer to Industrial Heat-Tracing Installation and Maintenance Manual (H57274) for test procedures.
Inspect boot. If boot is damaged or sealant appears dry or missing, replace boot. For replacement boots, order kit E-100-BOOT-5/PACK. Otherwise, re-install boot. WARNING: Explosion Hazard- Substitution of Components May Impair Suitability for Class I Division 2 (Zone 2)
Install cap; tighten until the slot on the cap and the slot on the stand align.
