If you've severed a heating cable with a trowel or utility knife (it happens more than anyone admits), this kit lets you splice it back together without replacing the entire cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant: this kit is for repairs during installation, BEFORE the cable is covered with mortar and tile. If a cable fails after the floor is tiled, the repair process is significantly more involved (you'll need to locate the break and expose it). This kit provides the splice components — the access is up to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's in the kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-shrink splice connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection hardware for rejoining the severed conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep-by-step splice instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen you need it\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable cut or nicked during installation (trowel, knife, or screw)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable damaged during membrane placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory splice (cold lead junction) damaged during rough-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNOT for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shortening a cable that's too long — cables CANNOT be cut to length.
