For 240 Volt cables, the cable is designed to be
directly connected into an appropriate electrical outlet
box supplied by ground fault protected circuit. Since it
will be necessary to remove power from the cable from
time to time, such as in summer, always connect the
cable to an appropriate double-pole electrical switch.
If the heating cable is the only load on the circuit, the
branch circuit breaker may be used to disconnect
power from the cable (switch is not necessary).
In addition, a remote thermostat similar to Easy Heat
model C3RC can be used for 120 Volt or 240 Volt cables
to reduce energy consumption and extend the life of
the cable. Consult your local Easy Heat supplier or rep-
resentative for other control options.
Testing the system. Once the installation is complete,
apply power to the heating cable; wait about one hour,
and then turn on a water tap supplied by the protected
pipe and test the temperature of the water. It should
feel warm almost immediately as the water heated by
the cable flows through the pipe.
Operation. Energize the cable/control upon the arrival
of cold weather in the fall and de-energize the cable in
late spring.
a Maintenance. Check cable each year for any
damage before energizing the heating cable. Check any
ground fault protection device for proper operation.
Check pipe insulation and replace any that may be loose or
damaged. Do not operate the cable if any damage is found.

Attaching heating cable to pipes. Wrap Easy Heat
HCA (optional Application Tape) or nylon cable ties at
six-inch intervals to secure the heating cable to the pipe.
• If the heating cable is the same length as the pipe,
run it straight along the bottom of the pipe. If two
cables are required, position them in the 4 and 8
o’clock positions.
• If the cable selected is exactly double the pipe
length, apply a single trace of cable straight along
the pipe all the way to the end, and loop back,
applying cable straight along the pipe all the way
back to the starting point.
• If the cable selected is somewhat less than double
the pipe length, spiral the cable evenly along the
entire length of pipe.
Protecting the system with thermal insulation. Be-
fore insulating, ensure that there is no damage, such
as nicks or cuts on the heating cables. Immediately
cover the pipe, cables, connections, valves and spig-
ots with
1
/2" to 1" thick fiberglass insulation or equiva-
lent. Do not leave the cables exposed. Use fire-resis-
tant materials such as fiberglass wrap. Make sure
the insulation is waterproofed (with polyethylene or
other vapor barriers) in areas where water may come
in contact with the insulation.
Heating cable control options and power connection.
For 120 Volt cables, the heating cable can simply be
plugged into either a ground fault protected electrical
receptacle or the Easy Heat HCP1 Cable Sentry.
