About This Product
Replacement Lead for Nuheat Heating Mats
The Nuheat® Mat Lead Wire Repair Kit provides the components needed to replace a damaged lead wire on a compatible Nuheat heating mat. Separate 120 V and 240 V kits are available to match the voltage of the heating system.
Lead Wire and Heat Shrink Components
Each repair kit includes one 10 ft. replacement lead, three large heat shrinks, and three small heat shrinks. The small heat shrinks are used to connect the heating wire to the larger cold lead wire, while the large heat shrinks complete the connection over the metallic braid.
Insulation and Resistance Testing
The heating mat must be tested before, during, and after installation to validate the warranty. After completing the lead repair, insulation and resistance tests are required to verify the connections. Resistance should measure within -5% to +10% of the factory reading listed on the mat tag.
Heat-Shrink Lead Wire Repair
Installation requires removing the damaged portion of the lead, preparing the existing and replacement wires, and joining them with the supplied solder-ring heat shrinks using a heat gun. After the individual lead connections are completed, the metallic braid is reconnected and sealed with the larger heat shrink. The heating mat must not be connected to power during testing.
