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.

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.

Self-Regulating Heaters for Pipes and Tubes

These heaters require a power-connection kit.

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.

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.

Wire and Cable

Appliance Cable

Also known as zip cord, this cable is often used in lamps, heat guns, and other small appliances.

High-Temperature Cable

For high-heat applications such as furnaces and ovens, this cable's insulation withstands temperatures of 390° F and higher.

Ultra-High-Voltage Wire

Use this wire in high-voltage applications that require 10,000 volts DC or greater, such as in high-power signs and lasers.

High-Voltage Wire

Often used in mining applications, treatment plants, and motors, this wire withstands 5,000 volts AC/DC.

High-Temperature Wire

Use this wire in ovens, furnaces, and other electrical heating equipment where temperatures reach 480° F and higher.

Abrasion-Resistant Wire

A durable insulation withstands abrasion, so this wire can be pulled over rough surfaces.
