Powerblanket® Pipe Wrap Heater Installation Instructions The design is such that two people can easily install most of the Powerblanket® Pipe Wrap Heaters. Photo of PH040603 installed on a 6-3/4" OD (blue) cylinder. Note the external 1" wide webbing straps with integral metal buckles are used to secure the Pipe Wrap heater to the pipe. Note also that the electrical cord comes out of the left end of the Pipe Wrap heater.
Begin by laying out the Pipe Wrap heater. Identify the cord edge of the blanket (top in this picture) and the buckle edge of the blanket (bottom edge). Position the cord edge of the blanket along the axis of the pipe as shown below. Ensure that the Pipe Wrap edge is aligned with the axis of the pipe. This will help ensure that the Pipe Wrap is even when the installation is complete. Next locate the positions of the arrows on the Pipe Wrap.
Now you should loosely attach a few of the straps starting from the center of the Pipe Wrap. Leave the straps over the arrows undone so you can bleed the air out of the blanket. Strap tightening can best be accomplished by sliding a hand under the strap edge of the blanket up to the cord edge making sure that the strap edge of the blanket completely overlaps the cord edge. While holding the cord edge against the pipe, tug on the flap on the strap edge to snug the wrap on the pipe.
YOU need to get the good wrap by hand before tightening the straps as the straps will not tighten to give you a better wrap. The strap being tightened simply prevents the pipe heater from unwrapping. YOU need to get the overlap and the good wrap before tightening the straps. The last step is to rotate the pipe heater on the pipe such that the overlapping flap on the buckle edge of the wrap points down. Buckles will be at 3 o’clock as viewed from the cord end.
