			Revised:2012-04-26


Rating	200 deg C, 600 Vac, Horizontal flame.

Conductor	18-12 AWG, stranded only.

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

Heating Element	Nichrome, copper alloy or other suitable resistance wire is spirally wound around the insulation; the AWG size of wire, number of turns, length between contract with the copper conductor are dependent upon the wattage demand and the voltage used to energize the cable.

Assembly	Over two or three FEP insulated conductors laid parallel a 5 mil minimum at any point wall of FEP is extruded to form a 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 outer conductors so as to bare the copper conductor for approx 1/2 in widths at periodic intervals.

Shield	Optional.

Covering	Optional. 13 mils minimum at any point of extruded Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP).

Standard	Appliance Wiring Material UL 758.

Marking	General.

Use	Pipe heating cable where the acceptability of the combination is to be determined by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
