1 Raychem WinterGard self-regulating heating cables provide convenient, reliable freeze pro-tection for a wide variety of professionally installed residential and commercial water-pipe and roof-and-gutter de-icing applications in nonhazardous areas. This data sheet is designed to assist in cable and accessory selection and basic circuit design of pipe-freeze-prevention applications. Complete design guidelines, installation instructions, and safety information are pro-vided in the Commercial and Residential Self-Regulating Heating Products Application and Design Guide (H53585), the H900 Power connection Kit, the H908 Plug-in Power connection Kit, and the H921 120-V ground-fault protected junction detailed information on roof and gutter de-icing applications, please refer to the WinterGard Wet Design, Installation and Maintenance Guide (H56804).16 AWG bus wiresConductivecore (black)Insulated jacket(blue or red)Tinnedcopper braidWater-proofouter jacket (black)H612, H622 only Construction Pipe ApplicationsWinterGard systems must be installed correctly to ensure proper operation and to prevent shock or fire.

2 Carefully read and follow the Commercial and Residential Self-Regulating Heating Products Application and Design Guide and the H900 series connection kit installation instructions. Use only in ordinary (nonhazardous) areas. Do not expose to any chemicals, oil or grease. In wet areas, use only WinterGard Wet. To minimize the danger of fire from sustained electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged or improperly installed, and to comply with the requirements of Tyco Thermal Controls, agency approvals, and national electri-cal codes, ground-fault equipment protection must be used on each heating cable branch circuit. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit protection. This selection guide does not take the place of the instal-lation instructions included in the Commercial and Residential Self-Regulating Heating Products Application and Design Guide and in the H900 series accessory kits.

3 System approvals and performance are based on the use of only H900 series accessories with WinterGard heating cables. These accessories must be used.

6 (Consult the Commercial and Residential Application and Design Guide or H900/H908 Installation Instructions for com-plete system design information.) Use Table 1 to select heating cables for insulated metal pipes. Use Table 2 for insulated plastic pipes. Read across the table to find your pipe diameter, then drop down to the line corresponding to the lowest air temperature for that application and the correct insulation thickness. The cell at that intersection has a particular shade and may have a number. The shade indicates which heating cable to use (key to the shades appears to the left of Table 1). A number in the cell represents the spiraling ratio (feet of heating cable per foot of pipe). If no num-ber appears in the cell, straight trace the pipe. If a number does appear in the cell, spiral trace the pipe. If your spiraling ratio is , multiple-trace the pipe using two straight traces at the 4 o clock and 8 o clock your spiraling ratio is , multiple-trace the pipe using three straight traces at the 11 o clock or 1 o clock position and at the 4 o clock and 8 o clock thicknessLowestair F 20 F 40 FPipe diameter (inches) thicknessLowestair F 20 F 40 FPipe diameter (inches) 1 Pipe = 2-inch-diameter metalLowest air temperature = 0 FInsulation thickness = 1 inchCable length and type = 1 foot of WinterGard H311 per foot of pipeExample 2 Pipe = plasticLowest air temperature = 20 FInsulation thickness = 1 inchCable length and type = feet of WinterGard Plus H611 or H612 or WinterGard Wet H621 or H622 per foot of pipeH311H611, H612, H621, H622 Increase insulation to Tables 1 and 2 Table 1.
