Rating	200 deg C, 600 Vac, Horizontal flame.

Conductor	18 AWG - 12 AWG stranded only.

Insulation	FEP, 20 mils min average, 18 mils minimum at any point.

Assembly	Two or three conductors. The cord is prepared for the spiral wound heating element Assemblyby 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. A spirally wound nichrome or other type of resistance wire is then carefully wound the length of the cord. By varying the distance between contacts with the conductors, the number of turns per inch of resistance wire and the AWG size (resistance) of the spirally wound wire, different wattages per foot per service voltage can be obtained. A third conductor may be placed parallel to the assembly described above.

Shield	Optional.

Covering	Optional. 13 mils min at any point of extruded fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP).

Jacket	FEP, 20 mils min average, 16 mils minimum at any point.

Misc.	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 contact with the copper conductor are dependent upon the wattage demand and the voltage used to energize the cable.

Standard	Appliance Wiring Material UL 758.
