2.
Trim tubing to within 85mm (3-1/4”) of the
end of the insulation. If self regulating heat
trace proceed to step 3. For Zone-type heat trace
continue with identifi cation of bus connection on
step 2a.
1.
Remove outer jacket and insulation from tubing
bundle approximately 508mm (20”) from end of
the tubing bundle.

Strip back bundle insulation 85mm (3 1/4”)
beyond bus connection indentation of each heat
tracing. If bus connection indentation is less than
305mm (12”)-381mm (15”) from end of the heat
tracing, proceed stripping the bundle insulation
to the next indentation. Trim tubes so the bus
connection indentation on each meet.
