Abstract

A heating cable assembly includes a joint housing that includes a body formed of an electrically insulating material. The body includes a floor, a pair of outer walls and a pair of inner walls positioned intermediate the pair of outer walls. The walls form an inner insulating channel and a pair of outer insulating channels. A pair of openings is defined above each of the insulating channels, the openings being devoid of material to allow at least a portion of one or more conductors to be installed into the insulating channels from above. One of two hot conductors and one of two cold conductors are connected at a first joint and another hot conductor and another cold conductor are connected at a second joint. The first and second joints are positioned in one of the insulation channels beneath one of the openings with an insulating wrap installed about the housing.
