Having never used this stuff before, how do I terminated it. Just
straight into plug ?? and then via RCD. What about the heating effect
on the plug. Or is there a proper way ??


You don't need or want the heating operation between the propogating
unit and the wall, so you'll want to either solder/crimp it to a length
of flex or connect it via a lump of connector block or similar.

If its nichrome, which it probably is, forget solder. It simply wont
touch it.
