Thermon KSR-SK-DB - Manual (Page 2)


KSR-SK-DB In-Line Splice Kit
Tools Required . . .
The following installation procedures are suggested guidelines for
the installation of in-line cable splices. They are not intended to
preclude the use of other methods and good engineering or field
construction practices.
Receiving, Storing and Handling . . .
1. Inspect materials for damage incurred during shipping.
. Report damages to the carrier for settlement.
3. Identify parts against the packing list to ensure the proper
type and quantity has been received.
4. Store in a dry location.
Installation Precautions . . .
• To minimize the potential for arcing and fire caused by product
damage or improper installation use ground-fault protection. The
National Electrical Code (NEC) and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
require ground-fault protection of equipment for each branch
circuit supplying electric heat tracing.
• Installation must comply with Thermon requirements and be in-
stalled in accordance with the NEC, CEC, or any other applicable
national and local codes.
• Power connections and end termination must be located in NEMA 4
or 4X enclosures (Thermon KSR-JB or UL Listed equivalent) located
above moisture line.
• De-energize all power sources before opening enclosure.
• Keep ends of heating cable and kit components dry before and
during installation.
• Do not locate the splice in an expansion joint area, where a bend
occurs in the cable, or within a conduit entering or exiting a slab.
• Do not splice cables that have different catalog numbers and/or
voltage ratings.
• Component approvals and performance rating are based on use
of Thermon specified parts only.
• The kit instructions should be used in conjunction with the
installation instruction for the heating cable and other accessary
items.
