Determine the inside diameter of your band heater as accurately as possible. A error of only 1/4" in the diameter measurement can make a difference of 3/4" on the circumference.

Tighten the screws of the Barrel-Nuts or Tabs, then tap gently with a soft mallet along the circumference to insure that the band heater is snug onto your cylinder. After a few minutes of heating re-tighten the heater.

Use several narrow width (1 ½" to 6") band heaters rather than one large one. A intensive study has shown that small narrow band heaters offer a more efficient rate of heat transfer and a longer lifespan.

To ensure that the internal electrical insulation of the band heater is not damaged, it is recommended to choose a two section (or two half-moon) heater if the cylinder on which it will be installed needs to be opened wide excessively (usually diameters over 10").

The cylinder on which the heater bands will be installed needs to have a smooth and clean surface. It is also important to avoid the accumulation of plastic residue or other contaminant on the cylinder.
