Pipe Freeze Protection
In cold locations, thermal insulation alone cannot fully protect pipes from freezing. Frostex Plus self-regulating heating cables for pipe freeze protection meet the needs of the residential user and can be installed without the aid of a contractor.
Self-Regulating Heating Cables
Gardian
Gardian pre-assembled electric heating cables are intended for installation on metal or plastic water pipes for freeze protection in residential and commercial applications. Gardian 120 volt heating cables are available in 6-, 12-, 18-, 24-, 50-, 75-, and 100-foot lengths complete with a 30-inch power cord and plug. Gardian 240 volt heating cables are available in 6-, 12-, 18- and 24-foot lengths and are hard-wired.
WinterGard
WinterGard heating cable is a professional-grade, 3-watt/foot, self-regulating electrical cable that can be used for pipe freeze protection on small pipes. The heating cable is constructed of nickel-copper bus wires, a self-regulating conductive core, an insulating jacket, and a tinned-copper braid. The benefits of using WinterGard self-regulating are many: it can be overlapped, cut to length, will not burn out, and it saves energy. The WinterGard pipe freeze protection system is UL Listed and CSA Certified for use in non-hazardous areas.
WinterGard Plus
WinterGard Plus heating cable is a professional-grade, 6-watt/foot, self-regulating electrical cable that can be used for pipe freeze protection. The heating cable is constructed of nickel-copper bus wires, a self-regulating conductive core, an insulating jacket, and a tinned-copper braid. The benefits of using WinterGard Plus self-regulating are many: it can be overlapped, cut to length, will not burn out, and it saves energy. The WinterGard Plus pipe freeze protection system is UL Listed and CSA Certified for use in non-hazardous areas.
WinterGard Wet
WinterGard Wet heating cable is a professional-grade, 6-watt/foot, self-regulating electrical cable that can be used for pipe freeze protection and roof and gutter de-icing. The heating cable is constructed of nickel-copper bus wires, a self-regulating conductive core, an insulating jacket, a tinned-copper braid, and an outer polyolefin jacket. The benefits of using WinterGard Wet self-regulating are many: it can be overlapped, cut to length, will not burn out, it saves energy, and will not overheat roofing materials or plastic gutters. The WinterGard Wet pipe freeze protection and roof and gutter de-icing systems are UL Listed and CSA Certified for use in nonhazardous areas.
XL-Trace
The XL-Trace system provides freeze protection of metal and plastic pipes and flow maintenance of grease disposal and fuel lines. Commercial pipe freeze protection applications include cooling towers, parking garages, coolers, freezers, and sprinkler systems. For flow maintenance, the XL-Trace system maintains grease disposal and fuel lines above the temperature at which the viscosity inhibits fluid flow. Grease disposal lines are pipes used for the disposal of waste oils and fats created in the cooking process. Fuel lines are those carrying #2 fuel oil which includes diesel fuel and home heating oil.
M.I. heating cables
Pyrotenax™ MI Cable-Alloy 825
Alloy 825 Mineral Insulated Heating Cables provide solutions for industrial freeze protection and process-temperature maintenance applications in hazardous and non-hazardous locations.
MI is also used where high-power output, high-exposure temperatures, or extreme resistance to environmental corrosives are needed. MI heating cables can provide up to 82 watts per foot (269 watts per meter) of power output with area classification and design approvals. MI heating cables are constructed and approved for use in non-hazardous and hazardous (classified) areas. The maximum application temperature for heating units is 1022°F (550°C) and the maximum exposure temperature for the heating cable is 1238°F (670°C). Higher temperatures are available by special order.
