High Temperature Wiring

Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time may use materials i.e. wires, connectors and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:

• Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any damaged wire.
• Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
• Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing.
• After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat source.
