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 (available in the J-38125 Terminal Repair kit).
• After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat source.
