INSTALLING THE HEATER WIRE - STEP 2
1. Attach Vacuum Pump and Gauge Set to one end
of Perimeter Hot Tube with Adapter and Plastic
Sleeve. See illustration below.
2. Cutoff waxed end of Fiberglass braid that
extends past end of heater wire and make knot
in end just a little smaller than inside diameter of
hot tube.
3. Insert knot on end of braid into open end of
Perimeter Hot Tube.
4. With braid inserted, start Vacuum Pump and
place your thumb over end of tube. When good
vacuum is obtained, release your thumb and begin
to feed braid into Hot tube. Continue this process
until string reaches Plastic Sleeve.
NOTE: Take the time to remove all the bends from
the heater (caused from being rolled up) by pulling
the heater and braid through a shop rag with a small
amount of silicone on the rag and laying it in a roll
at the open end of the Hot Tube. It will make heater
installation go faster. Use of a good, two stage, 5
CFM Vacuum Pump to make heater installation go
faster.
5. Disconnect Plastic Sleeve.
6. Pull braid out while pushing equal amount of
braided heater into tube at other end until heater
wireinside braid appears.
