DESCRIPTION
The nVent RAYCHEM JBM-100-A and JBM-100-A6 are NEMA 4X-rated
connection kits. They are designed for use with nVent RAYCHEM BTV-CR,
BTV-CT, QTVR-CT, XTV-CT, KTV-CT, HTV-CT and VPL-CT industrial parallel
heating cables. The kits can be used to connect one, two, or three heating
cables to power, to connect two separate heat-trace circuits, or to splice or
tee up to three heating cables. The JBM-100-A6 kit utilizes larger terminal
blocks to accommodate up to 6 AWG power wires.
Note: For two or more heating cables powered by a single circuit, the length
of each heating cable should not exceed the maximum allowable circuit
length published in the nVent RAYCHEM self-regulating cables design
guide and the total current of all heating cables on the circuit should equal
no more than 80% of the circuit breaker current rating.
These kits may be installed at temperatures as low as –67°F (–55°C). For
easier installation store above freezing until just before installation.
