Abstract
A lighted cable termination assembly for a heat trace cable is provided. The lighted cable termination assembly includes a stand, a base component, a lens, and a plurality of light emitting components. The stand has a first perimeter, and the base component is coupled to the stand and has a second perimeter. The lens has a proud surface and is coupled to the base component so that the proud surface extends radially outside of the first perimeter and the second perimeter. The plurality of light emitting components are disposed under the lens and configured to be powered by the heat trace cable.
Claims19
A lighted cable termination assembly for use with a pipe, the lighted cable termination assembly comprising:
- a stand configured to be supported by the pipe with the stand extending upwardly from the pipe, wherein the stand includes a cylindrical housing and a base, the base including a plurality of elongated openings configured to receive a strap to secure the stand to the pipe;
- and
- a lighted end cap device coupled to the stand, the lighted end cap device including a lens and a plurality of light emitting components disposed under the lens,
- the lens having a proud surface extending radially outside of a perimeter of the stand to provide illumination from a plurality of viewing angles as viewed from an underside of the pipe.
A system to be installed on or in a pipe, the system comprising:
- a heat trace cable;
- and
- a lighted cable termination assembly comprising:
- a stand configured to be supported by the pipe with the stand extending upwardly from the pipe, the stand configured to receive, through a lower opening, an end of the heat trace cable;
- and
- a lighted end cap device coupled to the stand and configured to be coupled to the heat trace cable, the lighted end cap device including:
- a lens having a proud surface that extends radially outside of a perimeter of the stand, and
- a plurality of light emitting components disposed under the lens and powered by the heat trace cable so that the lens provides, through the proud surface, illumination from a plurality of viewing angles as viewed from an underside of the pipe.
A system comprising:
- a heat trace cable;
- and
- a lighted cable termination assembly comprising:
- a stand having a first perimeter;
- a base component coupled to the stand and having a second perimeter;
- a lens having a proud surface, the lens coupled to the base component so that the proud surface extends radially outside of the first perimeter and the second perimeter;
- and
- a plurality of light emitting components disposed under the lens and configured to be powered by the heat trace cable.
