WArning: shock and Fire Hazard
improper crimp connections can cause overheating and a danger of shock and
fire. carefully follow the crimping instructions in step 13 to ensure a proper
electrical connection.
Do not substitute crimps or wire nuts. component approvals and performance
are based on pentair thermal Management-specified parts only.
• Select the correct crimp connectors for the gauge of power supply wire used (see table).
supply wire gauge
crimp connector size
8 – 14 AWG
Ideal 411 (small, Item G)
4 – 6 AWG
Ideal 412 (large, Item H)
• Connect power supply wires to bus wires. Use two crimps for each connection and
crimp twice on each connector (see Step 13).
• Use one crimp connector to attach equipment grounding conductor to heating cable
braid (see Step 14).
13
• Use the correct crimp tool (Ideal 30-425) when
making the connections.
• To make the proper crimp connection, position the
heating cable bus wire directly below the larger
supply wire.
• Position the supply wire and bus wire in the crimp
connectors and crimp tool exactly as shown.
• Crimp each connector twice (see detail).

• Use only one crimp
connector to attach
equipment grounding
conductor to heating cable
braid (see detail).
