Lead Termination and Cable Kits for Self-Limiting Cables

In order to maintain the integrity of the insulation, termination kits must be used to add leads or splice the heating cables. The termination kits are designed to fully seal using a general purpose silicone RTV sealant, such as GE RTV108, on the final connections.
Termination Kit Type Part Number
Universal Connection/Termination Kit HTP90001
Lead and End Kit for 5 circuits HTP90002
Single Lead Term. HTP90003
Single End Term. HTP90004
Cable Splice Kit HTP90005
Each Universal Connection/Termination Kit can be used to make one power input connection, or one power input splice and two end terminations. These assemblies are watertight and suitable for use in Division hazardous locations.

Splice Kit has sufficient material for 1 in-line splices or 1 tee splices.
