Surface Preparation & Degreasing: Thoroughly clean the compressor or pipeline surface. Use an industrial degreaser to remove all oil, moisture, and dust. A pristine surface ensures optimal thermal contact and prevents localized overheating caused by air gaps or contaminants.

Precision Positioning & Wrapping: Position the flexible heating strip around the target zone (typically the lower crankcase of the compressor). Ensure the strip is wrapped flat against the surface without twists. For spiral wrapping on pipes, maintain consistent spacing to achieve uniform heat distribution.

Tensioning & Mechanical Securing: Secure the strip using the integrated spring fasteners or provided high-temperature resistant straps. Ensure sufficient tension so the heating element is in full circumferential contact with the equipment. Avoid over-tightening that could pinch the silicone insulation.

Electrical Termination & Verification: Connect the lead wires to the power source according to the voltage specifications (check label for 12V-220V). Ensure all connections are insulated and moisture-proof. Perform a brief trial run to verify the strip reaches operating temperature uniformly.
