Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
- Bus wires will short if they contact each other. Keep bus wires separated.
- Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during installation.
- The black heating cable core is conductive and can short. It must be properly insulated and kept dry.

Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Solution |
| Braid clips are missing. | The braid clips are attached to the cardboard packing insert under the lid. The braid clips must be used to ensure a ground connection. If clips are missing or lost, call nVent at 800-545-6258. |
| The mounting bracket Is missing. | A pipe mounting bracket is supplied with the Power Connection, Powered Splice and Powered Tee kits. A wall molting bracket or additional pipe mounting bracket may be ordered using one of the catalog numbers listed under ‘Optional Accessories’ on the front page of these instructions when you place your order. |
| The connector does not snap onto the bracket. | The bracket has two sets of attachment clips. Fold up the four outer clips for the Power Connection kit. Fold up only the center clips for the Powered Splice and Powered Tee kits. |
| Heating cable type not mentioned. | nVent RAYCHEM RayClic connection kits are approved for use only with HWAT, XL-Trace Edge, and IceStop heating cables. Do not use it with other heating cables. |
| The braid clip does not fit. | Be sure the clip is installed on the metal braid, not on the outer jacket. |
| The heating cable does not have an aluminum wrap. | Only HWAT heating cables have the aluminum wrap under the braid. Skip the aluminum wrap removal step for XL-Trace Edge and IceStop heating cables. |
| The heating cable cannot be inserted into the connector. | Check for the following: • Apply cable lubricant to the heating cable primary (white) jacket. • Outer jacket strip length is 31 /8 inches. • Braid clip is installed on top of the metal braid, not on the outer jacket. • Braid is pulled back over braid clip. • For HWAT, 1 inch of braid is removed. • Sealing nut is loose (but not removed). • Connection screws are loose. |
| Ud does not close. | Be sure all screws are fully tightened before closing the lid. |
| The heating cable cannot be inserted into the end seal. | The outer jacket must be removed from the heating cable before the end seal is installed (see the ‘End Seal Installation’ instructions on page 7). Make sure 1 inch of the outer jacket, braid, and aluminum wrap (HWAT only) are removed. |
| The heating cable cannot be removed. | The power connection and end seal are designed to be installed only once; the heating cable cannot be removed once installed. Additional nVent RAYCHEM RayClic -E end seals can be ordered from Vent. |

Instructions:
- Open the RayClic Cover.
