SOLCO SP-PTK-M Cold Applied Power Connection Kit
The SOLCO SP-PTK-M is a cold applied power connection kit designed for connecting electric trace heating cables into suitable junction boxes or controllers.
Featuring a silicone moulded power boot, the kit is designed to maintain electrical insulation around the heating cable conductors and core at the power termination point.
Unlike heat-shrink termination products, the SP-PTK-M does not require a heat gun or torch to insulate the heating core.
The manufacturer specifies a suitably rated RTV silicone sealant for sealing the power boot against the external environment.
Cold Applied Trace Heating Power Connection
A trace heating installation requires a suitable termination arrangement where the heating cable connects to the electrical power supply.
The SP-PTK-M is designed to insulate the heating cable conductors and core at this connection point.
Its silicone moulded boot provides a cold applied alternative to heating cable terminations that require heat-shrink installation methods.
The silicone power boot can be installed without using a heat gun or torch to insulate the heating core.
This avoids the heat-shrink heating stage during the termination process. Other electrical installation, sealing and site requirements still apply.
Key Features and Benefits
Moulded silicone power termination component for compatible heating cable systems.
Heating the termination is not required for insulating the heating cable core.
Designed for cable power termination into suitable junction boxes and controllers.
Designed to maintain insulation around the cable conductors and heating core.
Published IP66 protection rating, subject to the correct complete connection assembly.
Uses a suitably rated RTV silicone sealant for external environmental sealing.
Power Connection or End Termination?
Different termination components perform different functions in a heating cable installation.
| Product | Connection Function |
|---|---|
| SP-PTK-M | Cold applied power connection kit for the heating cable supply end. |
| SP-ETK-M | Separate cold applied end termination kit for the opposite cable end. |
Select each termination component according to the heating cable manufacturer's instructions.

Installation and Sealing Requirements
The SP-PTK-M should be selected and installed as part of a complete trace heating power connection assembly.
- Confirm compatibility with the exact heating cable model.
- Prepare the heating cable according to SOLCO's termination instructions.
- Install the silicone power boot using the specified cold applied method.
- Seal the boot using a commercially available RTV silicone sealant suitably rated for the application.
- Use an appropriate junction box, controller, cable gland and electrical connection arrangement.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions to achieve the required electrical insulation and environmental protection.
Installation Note: Electrical connections should be completed by suitably qualified personnel. The manufacturer does not identify the complete contents of the SP-PTK-M kit in its online product text.
