Rating	150, 200 deg C, 600 Vac, Horizontal flame.

Conductor	18 AWG - 12 AWG, stranded only.

Insulation	FEP, 10 mils min average, 9 mils minimum at any point.

Assembly	Over two FEP insulated conductors laid parallel, a 10 mil min avg, wall of FEP is extruded to form a two conductor parallel cord. This 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.

Shield	Optional.

Covering	Optional. 13 mils min at any point of extruded special copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE). See Facing Page for Compound Designation or FEP.

Jacket	ETFE, 30 mils min average. See Facing Page for Compound Designation.

Standard	Appliance Wiring Material UL 758.

Marking	General.

Use	Pipe heating cable where the acceptability of the combination is to be determined by UL LLC.
