Rating	150 deg C, 600 Vac, Horizontal flame.

Conductor	18 AWG - 12 AWG stranded (tinned, plated, or bare).

Insulation	Extruded FEP, 10 mils min average, 8 mils minimum at any point.

Assembly	Three or four conductors; The three conductor parallel cord is now prepared for the spiral wound heating element. This is done by carefully removing the FEP insulation along the length of the cord so as to bare the copper conductor for approx 1/2 in widths at periodic intervals. A spirally wound nichrome or other type of resistance wire is then carefully wound the length of the cord.
