A locking pin for connecting at least first and second adjacent mats of a support surface includes a body and at least one foot operatively connected to the body and configured to secure the locking pin to the mats. The foot is selectively movable from an unlocked position to at least one locked position and then, while in a locked position, selectively moveable upwardly relative to the body and the first and second mats.

Apparatus and methods for connecting components of a support surface

Systems and methods for heaters used in treating a subsurface formation are described herein. Certain embodiments relate to systems for insulated conductors used in heater elements. More particularly, fittings for splicing together insulated conductors and/or insulated conductors to other conductors are described.

Systems for joining insulated conductors

A method for coupling ends of two insulated conductors includes coupling an end portion of a core of a first insulated conductor to an end portion of a core of a second insulated conductor. At least a part of the end portions of the cores are at least partially exposed. Electrically insulating material is placed over the exposed portions of the cores. An inner sleeve is placed over end portions of the two insulated conductors to be coupled. An outer sleeve is placed over the inner sleeve. There is an open volume between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve and the outer sleeve are coupled to jackets of the insulated conductors. A pressurized fluid is provided into the open volume between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve to compress the inner sleeve into the electrically insulating material and compact the electrically insulating material.
