Polyimide and Fiberglass Constant-Wattage Heating Cable

Polymide and Fiberglass Constant-Wattage Heating Cable provides precise and constant temperature output regardless of ambient and surface temperatures. Temperature controller is required for constant wattage, heat trace cable!

• Ideal for mid-high temperature process temperature control up to 500⁰F (260⁰C).
• Constant Watt - precise and constant temperature output regardless of ambient and surface temperatures.
• Ideal heating cable for long run applications.
• Durable construction: Impact resistant fiberglass insulation core with tinned copper over braid.
• Easily installed around most piping and equipment.
• Can be cut-to-length and terminated at the job site.
• Approvals for ordinary and hazardous area environments.

Specifications:

• Maximum exposure temperature is 500°F (260°C)
• Available in 4, 8, and 12 watts/ft (13, 26, and 39 watts/m)
• Available in voltages 120, 208, 240, 277, and 480VAC
• Circuit lengths up to 1,240ft (378m)
• Moisture, chemical, flame, and radiation resistant
• 12AWG bus wires
• Dimensions 0.2" x 0.3" (5 x 8mm)
• 45lb. (20kg) per 500-foot (152m) spool

Approval valid only when used with appropriate heating cable and installation accessories, and installed in accordance with all applicable instructions, codes, and regulations.

• Constant-Wattage cable uses a fixed resistance wire wrapped around two main conductors (bus wires). At specific intervals the insulation is removed from the bus wires, forming the Contact Module Points.
• These Contact Module Points are staggered along the length of the cable. This creates consistent heating circuits known as the Module Length. When power is applied to the bus wires each complete Module Length heats at the rated wattage output.
• The incomplete Module Lengths, at the beginning and end of each cable, do not heat. This allows the “Cold” ends to be safely placed inside of a controller or junction box.

Frequently Asked Questions:
