1 HWT-P HWAT POWER CONNECTION KIT WITH END SEAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DESCRIPTION The Raychem HWT-P Power Connection and End Seal Kit is for use with HWAT heating cables. Materials for one power connection and one end seal are included in this kit. These installation instructions should be used in conjunction with the HWAT System Installation and Operation Manual (H). For technical support contact your Pentair Thermal Management representative or call Pentair Thermal Management at TOOLS REQUIRED Screw driver Needle-nose pliers Utility knife Tape measure Pen Diagonal cutters Heat gun or torch Channel lock pliers ADDITIONAL MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT PROVIDED IN THIS KIT) UL Listed or CSA Certified junction box suitable for the location, with a through hole or threaded hub for /-inch NPT. KIT CONTENTS Item Qty Description A HWAT water heater tag B Gel-filled end seal C Pipe mounting bracket D # pipe strap E Black heat-shrinkable tubes ( in x in) F Green/yellow heat-shrinkable tube ( in x in) G Warning labels H Wire nuts (red) I Wire nut (gray) J Black heat-shrinkable tube ( in x in) K Lock nut L Cable gland M Black washer N Plastic cable tie APPROVALS K Pipe Heating Cable -G HWAT heating cables are UL Listed, CSA Certified, and FM Approved when used with the appropriate agency-approved Raychem components and accessories. The components are intended for use in dry and accessible locations. A B C D E F For HWAT Systems install this tag on the hot water heater or temperature control valve servicing the hot water systems. MAX. ATTENTION 0 F DO NOT heat water above 0 F. Temperatures above 0 F will permanently reduce the power output of the HWAT heating cable used on this hot water system. PN P00000 H0 0/ 0 Pentair Thermal Management LLC G H I J K L M N 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 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 Pentair Thermal Management, agency certifications, and national electrical codes, groundfault equipment protection must be used. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers. Bus wires will short if they contact each other. Keep bus wires separated. Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during installation. The black heating cable core is conductive and can short. It must be properly insulated and kept dry. Component approvals and performance are based on the use of Pentair Thermal Management specified parts only. Do not use substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape. Use fire-resistant insulation materials. Do not damage cable jackets or braid. Remove any damaged cables or connections from service. Do not use aluminum feed wires. Leave these instructions with end user for reference and future use.

2 Power Connection Installation HWAT Modified polyolefin outer jacket Tinned-copper braid Polymer-coated aluminum wrap Modified polyolefin inner jacket Self-regulating conductive core Nickel-plated copper bus wires in. (0 cm) Unscrew cable gland (Item L). Discard white washer and use black washer (Item M) instead. Slide nut, washer and grommet over the cable as shown. Bevel on the washer should face into the nut. Black washer / in Lightly score completely around and then down outer jacket. Bend heating cable to break jacket at score then peel off outer jacket. Do not cut metal braid or inner jacket. Carefully slide screwdriver underneath the braid and poke tip of screwdriver up through - bundles of the braid wire. Slowly pull back on screwdriver to unravel braid. Straighten out braid wire Repeat until entire length of braid is unraveled. THERMAL BUILDING SOLUTIONS EN-RaychemHWTP-IM-H0 0/ /

3 Straighten the braid and twist braid into a pigtail. Do not shorten the braid. Do not cut bus wires. / in in Using wire cutters, cut away aluminum wrap. At the end of each heating cable, lightly score completely around and down inner jacket Bend heating cable to break jacket at score, then peel off inner jacket Notch core at the end Twist back and peel bus wires from core Score between bus wires at base jacket Bend core to break free at base jacket / in Do not cut bus wires. Peel core and any remaining material from bus wires Slide heat-shrinkable tubes (Item E) over the bus wires. Starting from the center of the tube, move the heat source continuously from side to side. 0 Slide heat-shrinkable tube (Item J) over the stripped portion of the cable, until tube butts up against the outer jacket. IMPORTANT: If using a torch, be careful not to overheat, char or damage the tube. CAUTION: Health Hazard. Consult material safety data sheet RAY. To prevent the shrink tube from moving, slightly spread the bus wires to hold tube in place while shrinking. THERMAL BUILDING SOLUTIONS EN-RaychemHWTP-IM-H0 0/ /

While tube is still hot, pinch with pliers between bus wires to seal; hold for 0 seconds. / in / in / in CAUTION: Health Hazard. Consult included material safety data sheet. CAUTION: To avoid burns allow heated sections to cool before touching. Slip green/yellow tube (item F) over braid and shrink. Note: Ensure junction box is in proper orientation and tighten to pipe mounting bracket (Item C). In some cases, it may be required to install the junction box in the o'clock or o'clock position on the pipe. Lock nut Note: For junction boxes with a through hole, use provided lock nut (Item K). CAUTION: Health Hazard. Consult included material safety data sheet. Slide grommet until end is /" from end of outer jacket Bring cable into junction box Hand tighten nut With channel lock pliers tighten nut, but do not exceed more than one () turn. /" THERMAL BUILDING SOLUTIONS EN-RaychemHWTP-IM-H0 0/ /

5 Use red wire nuts (Item H) to connect the supply with the heating cable bus wires. Red wire nuts (Item H) Apply warning label (Item G) to junction box cover. Gray wire nut (Item I) Ground wire Use gray wire nut (Item I) to connect the ground braid to the supply ground. Attach HWAT water heater tag (Item A) to either the water heater or temperature control valve servicing the hot water systems, using the plastic cable tie (Item N).
