DEScRIpTIONThe WinterGard H910 Splice and Tee Kit is for use with WinterGard self-regulating heating cables to make splice, tee, and end seal connections. The kit contains materials for one splice and one end seal, or one tee connection and one end seal. This kit does not provide a power connection; use an H900 or H908 power connection kit for a complete installation.
AppLIcATIONSUse the H910 kit with the following WinterGard heating cables: H311, H611, H612, H621, and H622. All are designed for pipe freeze protection in dry locations, but H612 and H622 cables are designed for both wet and dry areas, as well as for roof and gutter de-icing. The cable type is printed on the outer jacket of the cable.
