Insulating The Cable - EasyHeat 11001-118 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Two Cable Placement
To protect a pipe with two heating cables, apply the two cables
on opposite sides of the pipe, with thermostats placed at opposite
ends. You may have up to 6 inches (0.15 m) of pipe at each end
not covered by cable. You may also have up to 6 inches (0.15 m)
between the two cables (for a total of 18 inches (0.46 m) of pipe
without cable).
The cables may overlap up to 3 feet (0.9 m) of pipe. Do not run the
cables along the same section of the pipe for more than 3 feet (0.9
m); they can overheat. Do not double back when using two cables.
The cables must be on opposite sides of the pipe —do not allow
them to touch.
d. Insulating the Cable
1/2" (13 mm) non-flammable insulation
Wrap the entire cable, including thermostat, with 1/2" (13 mm) fiberglass insulation or other equivalent non-flammable
foam insulation made for pipe application. With foam insulation, you may need to use a small, additional piece of
insulation to fully cover the thermostat. Fiberglass insulation must be protected with an additional waterproof vapor
seal using opposite spiraling (not needed for waterproof insulation). Do not use more than 1/2" (13 mm) of fiberglass or
other non-flammable insulation made for pipe application. Never use insulation that is too thick or that is flammable.
