• On horizontal pipes locate junction boxes below pipe
wherever possible. Pinch out drainhole in the stand when
installing upside down.
• Locate junction boxes for easy access but not exposed to
mechanical abuse.
• Position junction boxes so that power cable and heating
cable entries do not point upwards.

• Fix lids in place where access not required.
• Confirm junction box stopping plugs are correct for
application and fixed firmly in place.
• Route heating cable from junction box to insulation entry so
as to avoid possible mechanical damage.
– Do not strain heating cable as it exits/enters junction
boxes and insulation entries.
• Ensure heating cable is fixed above pipe straps such as used
for junction box support brackets.
• Fix all low profile components (e.g. heatshrink end seals) in
place with self-adhesive glass cloth tape.
