    Cut-to-Length Constant-Wattage Heating Tape for Pipes and Tubes

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Heating Tape. Cut-to-Length Constant-Wattage Heating Tape 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 (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.
    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.

    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).
    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.

    Heaters with a plastic cable cover are rated for use in hazardous locations. They are also more corrosion resistant and durable than heaters without a cable cover.

    Hazardous Location Adhesive-Mount Heat Sheets

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Heating Pads. Hazardous Location Adhesive-Mount Heat Sheets.
    FM approved, these heat sheets are safe for use in areas with infrequent exposure, such as from a spill or a ventilation system failure, to flammable gases, liquids, and dust. They are flexible and permanently adhere to container surfaces to warm contents without direct contact. Heaters require a temperature switch or controller to regulate heat output and should be installed with Dow Corning 736 silicone sealant (both not included).
    Note: Do not cut, crease, or overlap these heaters—this will damage the heating element. Use a roller during installation to remove air pockets and ensure direct surface contact. Once heaters have been applied to a surface, they cannot be removed and reused.
    Rectangle
    2.5 W/in² Watt Density—All have a watt density of 2.5 W/sq. in. for gentle warming.
    Hazardous Location Rating—Hazardous location ratings indicate whether manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in a hazardous environment. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it is rated for your environment.
