Self Regulating Pre-assembled Pipe Heating Cable
heating cable was designed and manufactured only for the purpose of preventing water pipes from freezing.

- Can be used by straight, spiral and overlap.
- Pre-assembled, easy to install.
- 2 ft 18/3 cold lead with plug.
The ambient temperature during installation affects how much you can bend the cable, as it will become stiffer in colder temperatures. If you install when the temperature is 50ºF (10ºC) or above, you can bend the cable to a radius of 1/2”. However, if installing in colder temperatures, the following limits for bending radius must be observed:
- The minimum bending radius is 1/2” @ 50ºF (10ºC) or above.
- The minimum bending radius is 1” @ 32ºF (0ºC).
- The minimum bending radius is 1-1/8” @ -4ºF (-20ºC).
- The lowest installation temperature is -4ºF (-20ºC).

Tips
- Never alter or cut the length of the heating cable in any way. Any alteration may result in electrical shock or fire.
- Cable should not run through the building walls, ceilings or floors.
- Never use metal binding to secure heating cable to pipe.
- The thermostat and the entire heating cable has to be in contact with the pipe.
Testing the cable before the installation.
Uncoil the cable, plug in the heating cable and then put the thermostat part of the cable into an ice bucket for few minutes. When the temperature is below 37F, the thermostat will energize the cable to work. Normally you can feel the slight warm on the heating cable in few minutes.
