Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for electrically connecting a heater strip is described. The apparatus is characterized in that a deformable grommet assembly is placed around the heater strip, so that the grommet assembly can be deformed by a pressure plate so that it fits tightly against the heater strip. The grommet assembly can hold the heater strip away from a support surface of the pipe on which the heater strip is mounted and can hold the heater strip oriented perpendicularly relative to the support surface. A grounding plate can be provided for pressing a grounding element of the heater strip against the pressure plate. An apparatus based on the same grommet assembly for electrically terminating a heater strip is also described.
