Using the Blanket
Place the thermostat end of the heating blanket against the assembled joint with the thermostat facing out from the joint . Wrap the remainder of the blanket around the joint so that overlap ,if any,will cover the thermostat . Tie the blanket in place with any temperature resistant tie or velcro strap. Use caution when removing to avoid burns.
Insulation
It is always a good idea to insulate around the heating blanket and to close the pipe ends.This is essential when it is windy or when air temperature is below 40°F. Fiberglass insulation backed with aluminum foil generally works well. Insulation should overwrap the blanket sides about 4 inches (100mm) each way and be tied down near the deges to trap the heat.Caution :Joint must not be moved. Vibrated or otherwise distributed during cure of adhesive.
