The DITRA-HEAT-E-HK Splice Kit allows you to repair a damaged heating cable in-place, restoring function without tearing out your tile floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeating cable can occasionally be nicked or cut during installation — tile setters aren't immune to accidents, and a chisel or tile saw blade landing in the wrong spot can sever a cable. Before you had this kit, that typically meant a lot of demo. Now it means a splice repair that Schluter has engineered to be both reliable and code-compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's in the kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll materials required to replace one factory splice in a DITRA-HEAT-E-HK cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes connectors, protective sleeve, and sealing materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for in-floor installation — not a field hack, a manufacturer-approved repair method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen you need this kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA heating cable was accidentally cut or nicked during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable resistance tests fail during or after tiling, indicating a damaged cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe factory splice (the black junction mid-cable) was accidentally embedded in a wall or inaccessible location — the splice must remain accessible; if it ended up in a wall, this kit can relocate it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCritical rule about factory splices\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory-installed splice (the thicker black section in the middle of DITRA-HEAT-E-HK cables) must remain in the floor — \u003cem\u003enever\u003c\/em\u003e in a wall, conduit, or inaccessible location.

Shortening changes resistance and causes failure. If cable is too long, loop it back within the floor area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne kit repairs one cable splice. For larger heating zones with multiple cables, have one kit per cable on-site during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schluter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48064085360807,"sku":"320012","price":53.58,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/3954\/4743\/files\/DITRA-HEAT-E-HK-SK_splicekit.jpg?v=1773093487","url":"https:\/\/www.yourfloors.ca\/products\/schluter-splice-kit-for-ditra-heat-e-hk-heating-cables","provider":"yourfloors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
