The ambient temperature during installation affects how much you can bend the cable, as it will become stiffer in colder temperatures. If you install when the temperature is 50ºF (10ºC) or above, you can bend the cable to a radius of 1/2”. However, if installing in colder temperatures, the following limits for bending radius must be observed: The minimum bending radius is 1/2” @ 50ºF (10ºC) or above. The minimum bending radius is 1” @ 32ºF (0ºC). The minimum bending radius is 1-1/8” @ -4ºF (-20ºC). The lowest installation temperature is -4ºF (-20ºC). Tips Never alter or cut the length of the heating cable in any way. Any alteration may result in electrical shock or fire. Cable should not run through the building walls, ceilings or floors. Never use metal binding to secure heating cable to pipe. Testing the cable before the installation. Uncoil the cable, plug in the heating cable. Normally you can feel the slight warm on the heating cable in few minutes.
