• Wrap remaining 3 x 4 1/2 in (76 mm x 114 mm) mastic
sheet (Item J) around outer jacket with 1 in (25 mm)
overlapping the recovered heat-shrinkable tubing.

note: see step 1 for proper heating techniques.
• Slide the 6 in (152 mm) long heat-shrinkable tube
(Item A) over end. Position tubing so 1/2 in (13 mm)
extends beyond pinched end of inner tube.
• Begin heating tube at end next to mastic sheet.
• Heat the tube until it is completely recovered and
adhesive or mastic flows out ends.
• Continue to heat center section to melt mastic
inside but do not blister or burn tube.
• Remove heat source and immediately pinch end
with needle-nose pliers for 20 seconds to ensure a
complete moisture seal.

• Allow end seal to cool completely. Position end seal so it
does not come in contact with power connection.
• Route heating cable so that power connection and end
seal are in same junction box. Use an EMK-XJB junction
box or agency certified equivalent. A minimum of 400
cubic inches are needed for 1 power connection and 1 end
termination per junction box.
• Apply "Electrical Deicing and Snow Melting" label (Item E)
on junction box cover. Place second label near installation
where applicable.
• Leave these installation instructions with the end user for
future reference.
