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.

Ice Melt

This ice melt contains sodium chloride to melt ice and snow faster and in lower temperatures than rock salt without leaving a powder-like residue.

Rock Salt

Melt ice and snow in temperatures above 25° F.

Glass and Window De-Icers

Spray directly onto glass to remove frost, snow, and ice. These de-icers also work on frozen locks and doors.

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.

Heavy Duty De-Icers

Often used to winterize cooling towers and other HVAC systems, these de-icers prevent water from freezing inside equipment and causing damage.

Multipurpose Cleaners for Cold Environments

Often used in freezers and cold-storage environments where other water-based cleaners would freeze, these cleaners remove dirt and grime in temperatures as low as -40° F.

Floating Immersion Heaters for Water

Often used for freeze protection in outdoor containers, these heaters float on the water’s surface and automatically keep the temperature between 45° and 65° F.

Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

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.

Constant-Wattage Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

These heaters require a separate temperature switch or controller to regulate heat output.

Ultra-Flexible Constant-Wattage
Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

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

Ready-to-Use Self-Regulating
Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

There’s no need for power-connection kits with these finished lengths of cable.

Self-Regulating Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

These heaters require a power-connection kit.

Ultra-High Temperature Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

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

High-Temperature 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.
