DESCRIPTION
The Raychem JBM-100-L-A is a NEMA 4X-rated connection kit. It is designed for use with Raychem BTV-CR, BTV-CT, QTVR-CT, XTV(R)CT, HTV-CT and VPL-CT industrial parallel heating cables. The kit can be used to connect one, two, or three heating cables to power, to connect two separate heat-trace circuits, or to splice or tee up to three heating cables. The kit includes a plug-in light module that indicates when power is supplied to the heating cable circuit.
Note: For two or more heating cables powered by a single circuit, the length of each heating cable should not exceed the maximum allowable circuit length published in the Raychem self-regulating cables design guide and the total current of all heating cables on the circuit should equal no more than 80% of the circuit breaker current rating.
These kits may be installed at temperatures as low as 40°F (40°C), and the maximum ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C). For easier installation store above freezing until just before installation.

WARNING:
This component is an electrical device that must be installed correctly to ensure proper operation and to prevent shock or fire. Read these important warnings and carefully follow all of the installation instructions.
- To minimize the danger of fire from sustained electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged or improperly installed, and to comply with the requirements of Chemelex, agency certifications, and national electrical codes, groundfault equipment protection must be used. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
- The power connection may be powered by more than one circuit. Be sure all power sources are de-energized before opening box.
- Component approvals and performance are based on the use of Chemelexspecified parts only. Do not use substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
- The black heating cable core and fibers are conductive and can short. They must be properly insulated and kept dry.
- Damaged bus wires can overheat or short. Do not break bus wire strands when scoring the jacket or core.
- Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during installation.
- Use only fire-resistant insulation materials, such as fiberglass wrap or flame-retardant foam.
CAUTION:
HEALTH HAZARD: Prolonged or repeated contact with the sealant in the core sealer may cause skin irritation. Wash hands thoroughly. Overheating or burning the sealant will produce fumes that may cause polymer fume fever. Avoid contamination of cigarettes or tobacco. Consult MSDS VEN 0033 for further information.
