About Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

Self-Regulating Heat Cable—Adjusts its heat output in response to surface as well as surrounding temperatures.

Constant-Wattage Heat Cable—Always puts out the designated amount of watts/ft., regardless of the surrounding temperature.

Bend-and-Stay Heaters for
Ducts, Ovens, and Dryers

Form these flexible heaters into any shape to mount them through brackets, collars, and holes. They are also known as tubular heaters.

Constant-Wattage Heaters with
Temperature Control for Pipes and Tubes

The thermostat automatically turns these heaters on when the temperature drops below 38° F and turns them off when the temperature reaches 45° F.

Constant-Wattage Heaters with Adjustable
Temperature Control for Pipes and Tubes

Turn the dial to control the percentage of time that these heaters cycle on, from 5% to 100%. Commonly used to thaw pipes, prevent valves from freezing, and heat beakers and flasks in labs, they're good for temporary and occasional use where rapid heating is required but precise temperature control is not.

Ultra-Flexible Constant-Wattage
Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

Wrap the flexible heating element around small-diameter pipes and tubes or pack it into tight spaces.

High-Temperature Constant-Wattage
Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

Rated for a maximum heat output of 900° F, these heaters are often used for thawing frozen pipes and rapid spot heating.

Cut-to-Length Constant-Wattage
Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

With a cable that supplies the same wattage along the entire length, these heaters remain consistent regardless of the surrounding temperature. All require a temperature switch or controller to regulate heat output.

Cut-to-Length Self-Regulating
Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

Also known as self-regulating heat cable, these heaters automatically adjust heat output at different points along their length to account for differences in environmental temperature.

Self-Regulating Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

When the ambient temperature changes, these heaters automatically adjust the heat output along the length of their cable. Also known as self-regulating heat cable, they don’t require a separate temperature switch or controller.

Insulating Wrap-Around Heaters for Hose

Keep the liquid inside your hose from freezing, maintain your liquid’s viscosity, and prevent condensation in chilly environments.

Insulating Wrap-Around Heaters for Pipe

Keep liquid in your pipes from freezing, maintain a specific viscosity, and prevent condensation in cold areas.

Ultra-High Temperature Constant-Wattage
Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

For demanding applications such as hot-melt transfer pipes, these heaters have a maximum heat output of 1400° F.

Bend-and-Stay Immersion Heaters with
Through-Wall Fittings for Chemical Solutions

Form these heaters into any shape and install them through container walls with the attached bulkhead fittings.

Ultra-Flexible Adhesive-Mount Heat Sheets

Also known as foil heaters, these bend around corners and edges without causing damage to the heating element.

Pipe Thawers

Thaw pipe without direct access to or knowing exactly where the frozen section is.

Roof and Gutter Heat Cable

Before ice begins to form, install this constant-wattage heat cable on roofs and in gutters and downspouts to prevent damage caused by ice buildup.
