Self-Regulating Heating Tape for Pipes and Tubes

Hardwire

Plug In

5-15

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. These heaters use their full wattage for more heat when surrounding temperatures are low and reduce their wattage when temperatures are high. Heat output can simultaneously vary at multiple points along a single cable. They’re often used to maintain liquid temperature and viscosity and provide freeze protection in pipe and tube systems. All are CSA certified for pipe freeze protection and are rated for outdoor use. Heaters can overlap without creating hot spots or risking burnout. A protective rubber cover provides corrosion resistance and durability.

Note: Only install these heaters in accessible locations; do not install them behind walls, underground, or in other difficult-to-access areas. Use fiberglass tape or heat-transfer putty to install them directly on surfaces that are free of dirt, grease, and rough edges. Do not use electrical tape, duct tape, metal bands, or wire. To prevent heat loss and protect heaters from moisture and corrosion, wrap them with fiberglass insulation.

Plug In—Heaters with a plug are also CSA certified for roof and gutter de-icing applications. The plug has an indicator light that shows when the system has power.

Power-Connection/Termination Kit

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. They output their full wattage where temperature is low and heat is needed. Where it’s warmer, they output reduced wattage. They’re often used to maintain liquid temperature and viscosity and provide freeze protection in pipe and tube systems. Heaters can be overlapped without creating hot spots or risking burnout. All require a power connection/termination kit (sold separately).

Constant-Wattage Heating Tape with Adjustable Temperature Control for Pipes and Tubes


Hardwire	Plug In

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.

Unlike self-regulating heaters, these provide a consistent heat output wattage along the entire length of the cable, regardless of the environmental temperature. They do not have a temperature sensor, so you should only use them in areas where you can monitor them with a thermometer (sold separately). Do not use behind walls, underground, or in other difficult-to-access areas.

With a rubber coating, these heaters are both moisture and chemical resistant. Install them onto surfaces that are free of dirt, grease, and rough edges using fiberglass tape or heat-transfer putty. Do not use electrical tape, duct tape, metal bands, or wire. To prevent burnout, make sure they're in full contact with the surface and have no overlap. To prevent heat loss, wrap with fiberglass insulation.

Ultra-High Temperature Constant-Wattage Heating Tape for Pipes and Tubes

For demanding applications such as hot-melt transfer pipes, these heaters have a maximum heat output of 1400° F. The wattage and heat output stay consistent along the entire length of the cable, regardless of the temperature of the environment. All require a temperature switch or controller (sold separately) for regulating heat output. To prevent burnout, heaters must not overlap and must be in full contact with the surface being heated.

Plug In—Heaters with a plug require a power controller (sold separately).

Constant-Wattage Heating Tape with Temperature Control for Pipes and Tubes

A nonadjustable thermostat turns these heaters on when the temperature drops below 38° F and turns them off when the temperature reaches 45° F. Often used to maintain liquid temperature and viscosity and provide freeze protection in pipe and tube systems, they supply the same wattage regardless of the surrounding temperature and are less prone to power surges than self-regulating heaters. To prevent burnout, they should be installed straight along pipes and tubes; they must not be overlapped or spiraled and must be in full contact with the surface being heated. All are rated for outdoor use. The plastic cable cover provides corrosion resistance and durability. Heaters have a plug with an indicator light that shows when the system has power.

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 (sold separately) to regulate heat output. They’re often used to maintain liquid temperature and viscosity and provide freeze protection in pipe and tube systems. To prevent burnout, heaters must not be overlapped and must be in full contact with the surface being heated. All have a plastic cable cover for corrosion resistance and durability. They are FM approved for hazardous locations. A power-connection/termination kit (sold separately) is required.

High-Temperature Constant-Wattage Heating Tape for Pipes and Tubes


Hardwire	Plug In

With a maximum heat output of 900° F, these heaters are often used for thawing frozen pipes and rapid spot heating. They supply the same wattage along the entire length of the cable, so they remain consistent regardless of the surrounding temperature. To prevent burnout, heaters must not be overlapped and must be in full contact with the surface being heated.

Note: Only install these heaters in accessible locations; do not install them behind walls, underground, or in other difficult-to-access areas. Use fiberglass tape to install them directly on surfaces that are free of dirt, grease, and rough edges. Do not use electrical tape, duct tape, metal bands, or wire. To prevent heat loss and protect heaters from moisture and corrosion, wrap them with fiberglass insulation.

Hardwire—Hardwire heaters require a temperature switch or controller for regulating heat output.

Plug In—Heaters with a plug require a power controller (sold separately).

Wrap the flexible heating element around small-diameter pipes and tubes or pack it into tight spaces. These heaters maintain a consistent heat output along the entire length of the cable, regardless of the environmental temperature. All require a temperature switch or controller to regulate heat output. They do not produce an electromagnetic field, so they can be used near electronics.

Roof and Gutter Heat Cables

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. To prevent burnout, it must not be overlapped. Cable includes enough roof clips and downspout spacers for the length ordered.

Extra clips and spacers are sold separately.

Pipe Thawers

Thaw pipe without direct access to or knowing exactly where the frozen section is. Unlike pipe heating tape and cable, you only need to place a clamp on each side of the frozen section, so these thawers can warm pipe that is underground, beneath floors, and behind walls. The heater warms pipe with low-voltage, high-current power so just the outer layers of ice thaw, allowing water pressure to melt the rest of the ice. The frozen section can include turns, so the run of pipe you're thawing can be longer than the distance the cables reach.

Adjustable Output Current—Thawers with an adjustable output current have a switch to flip between low-power usage and high-power usage. The low-power setting works with 15 amp circuit breakers, which are common. The high-power setting can thaw pipes quicker and thaw longer pipes.

Minimum Distance Between Clamps—The clamps must be placed at least 15 ft. apart to prevent tripping a circuit breaker and can reach up to 40 ft. apart.
