RS PRO Constant Wattage, Parallel Circuit Trace Heating Cable, 240V ac, 200 °C, -60 °C, 50 m

RS PRO 15W/m Trace Heating Cable Constant Wattage, Parallel Circuit, 240 V, 50 m

Water expands as it freezes, which can cause substantial damage and expense to pipework if it bursts. This trace heating cable from our RS PRO range works to maintain the internal temperature of pipes, preventing bursting, blockages and external snow build-up.
Using a fixed resistance filament to provide its heat load, this constant-wattage cable administers controllable heat to combat no-flow conditions in pipes. It can be cut to length from its reel and site-terminated to suit pipework up to 50 metres in length. Constant-wattage cables require temperature controls for efficiency and safety. They can be simply installed to work with thermostats or temperature monitoring devices.
Suitable for internal and external freeze protection as well as temperature maintenance, this cable can be used everywhere from hazardous industrial zones to domestic garages. It has an operating range -60°C to 200°C and comes in a durable sheath of silicone rubber.

Features and Benefits

• Constant wattage, parallel circuit cable
• Output per metre of 15 W
• Voltage rating of 240 V
• Operating temperature range from -60°C to 200°C
• Cable length of 50 m

RS PRO Silicone Insulated Parallel Circuit Heating Tape

RS PRO range of parallel circuit heating tape, with a constant wattage output for process temperature maintenance applications. This tape is flexible enough to allow it to be spiralled around a suitable pipe or vessel. The heating tape consists of several short heating zones each connected across a pair of continuous bus-wire conductors.
The main role of heat trace cables is stopping pipework from freezing. When water pipes freeze and burst, this can cause a great deal of damage and expense to homeowners and businesses. Heating cables provide controllable heat which helps pipes from freezing and keep liquids moving.
RS PRO have a great range of trace heating products which can help protect pipes from freezing, by maintaining the right temperature inside the pipe.
Heat tapes are a flexible solution that can be used to heat any surface or body requiring fast and efficient direct-contact heating.
Trace heating options include:
703-3108 - 15W/m, 110 V, 20m cable
703-3101 - 15W/m,110 V, 50m cable
