DescriptionThe C75-100-A is a NEMA 4X-rated gland kit used to transition heating cables into a junction box when making connections off of a pipe, tank or roof. It may be used for power, splice, or tee connections. The C75-100-A is for use with Raychem® BTV-CR, BTV-CT, QTVR-CT, XTV-CT, KTV-CT(1), LBTV2-CT(2), VPL-CT industrial parallel heating cables and GM-X and GM-XT roof and gutter de-icing heating cables. The kit does not include the junction box, flexible tubing, or tape, which are required to make a complete connection.For technical support call Tyco Thermal Controls at (800) 545-6258.
