RayClic-PC, RayClic-PS, RayClic-PT Installation Instructions
Solution
The braid clips are attached to the cardboard packing insert under the lid. The braid clips must be used to
ensure a ground connection. If clips are missing or lost, call Tyco Thermal Controls at (800) 545-6258.
A pipe mounting bracket is supplied with the Power Connection, Powered Splice and Powered Tee kits. A
wall mounting bracket or additional pipe mounting bracked may be ordered using one of the catalog num-
bers listed under "Optional Accessories" on the front page of these instructions when you place your order.
The bracket has two sets of attachment clips. Fold up the four outer clips for the Power Connection
kit. Fold up only the center clips for the Powered Splice and Powered Tee kits.
RayClic connection kits are approved for use only with Raychem HWAT, XL-Trace, and IceStop heat-
ing cables. Do not use with other heating cables.
Be sure the clip is installed on the metal braid, not on the outer jacket.
Only HWAT heating cables have the aluminum wrap under the braid. Skip the aluminum wrap
removal step for XL-Trace and IceStop heating cables.
Check for the following:
• Apply cable lubricant to the heating cable primary (white) jacket.
• Outer jacket strip length is 3 1/8-inches.
• Braid clip is installed on top of the metal braid, not on the outer jacket.
• Braid is pulled back over braid clip.
• For HWAT, 1-inch of braid is removed.
• Sealing nut is loose (but not removed).
• Connection screws are loose.
Be sure all screws are fully tightened before closing the lid.
The outer jacket must be removed from the heating cable before the end seal is installed (see the
"End Seal Installation" instructions on page 6). Make sure 1-inch of the outer jacket, braid, and alumi-
num wrap (HWAT only) are removed.
The power connection and end seal are designed to be installed only once; the heating cable cannot be
removed once installed. Additional RayClic -E end seals can be ordered from Tyco Thermal Controls.
