After that the ceiling grommet make sure these are all in the proper direction or they will not sit properly. Now insert the connector body onto the cable. Ensure the beveled edge meets the ceiling drawing with about six to eight inches of cable exposed. Remove the outer jacket with the razor blade sure not going too deep to cut the braid. Separate the grounding braid from the inner core by making a small hole in the braid and pulling the cable through. Approximately one inch from the braid exit point score the circumference of the inner jacket. Do not cut the heater cor,d remove the inner jacket shave the core material from the outside of each bus wire. Ensure that you do not cut into the bus wires. At the end of the cable create a v-notch with a pair of wire cutters. Using needlenose pliers grab each bus wire and pull it away from the heater core material. Expose each wire down to the intact inner jacket. Remove the heater core back to the inner jacket using your exposed buffs wires as a reference. Cut to the desired length you're heat shrink to cut both pieces so they can match. Leave about one inch from the end of the wire or your connection slide each eighth inch shrink tube over each bus wire shrink with the heat gun or torch until tubing is completely shrunk.

It does not matter which heat cable bus wire goes to the neutral power supply wire. Repeat this step for the remaining bus wire and power supply wire. Finish these connections with electrical heat tape as desired. Attach the ground braid from the heat cable to the ground wire. From the power supply twist together properly. Slide the brass grommet over the connection and crimp firmly with a pair of pliers. Make sure they are firmly attached and won't slide apart. For the end seal remove the outer jacket about an inch away from the edge. Remove all of the braid wire by cutting it all off it is not needed. Cut a v-notch in the very end with the v-notch. Now wrap all the mastic tape around the end ensuring that you go from the outer jacket. All the way up to the v-notch diapering through the v-notch. Make sure there's no chance the water can connect to the bus pliers. Each shrink the end seal and make sure to flatten the end with needle nose. Let Heat Trace Specialists protect your investment.
