Thermon FAK-7 - Manual (Page 2)

FAK-7 Seal Kit is designed to protect the thermal insulation and
seal tubing bundle ends. When installed, it should allow nor-
mal expansion and contraction of the tubing (and heat trace, if
included) without straining or damaging the overjacket.
Installation Precautions . . .
• These instructions should be used in conjunction with instructions
for the electrical heat tracing and any other accessory items being
installed.
• Keep ends of bundle, heat tracing (if any), and kit components
dry before and during installation.

2.
Deburr end of tubing and make necessary field installation connections. If
tubing is electrically heat traced, make-up end termination and/or power
connection per instructions included with the appropriate termination
kit. (order separate from the FAK-7)
3.
Liberally apply RTV sealant to tubing bundle insulation.
4.
While removing the clear backing from tape, wrap end of tubing
bundle with self-vulcanizing tape. Start a minimum of 51mm (2”)
above the cut on the outer jacket and continue a minimum of 51mm
(2”) along the bare tubing. Overlap the tape at least 50%. If electrically
heat traced, it is recommended that the end termination be sealed
and placed inside the insulation or at the connection, to assure no
moisture enters the bundle insulation.
