EASYHEAT Freeze Free® Pipe Heating Cable System (Cut to Length in the Field Pipe Trace)
A Freeze Free® system is easy to buy, easy to install and includes all the materials needed for a safe and proper installation. The cable is available on reels and can be cut to the correct length for the specific application. A rugged metal braided jacket provides an electrical ground as well as protection against damage. Completing the system is easy: simply insert the cable into the special plug and tighten the screws. EASYHEAT's patented plug design ensures proper cable placement. An end-cap placed on the other end of the cable provides appropriate protection. Using self-regulating technology, this cable actually produces only the heat that is needed, where and when it is needed, to prevent pipe freeze-up. UL listed and Factory Mutual Systems certified, this system can be installed with confidence and with the assurance that it will operate for years without requiring service. This product is suitable for use on plastic and metal water pipes. Use the Freeze Free system to make sure your pipes don't freeze.
A special self-regulating core is at the center of the Freeze Free cable. This core is conductive and adjusts according to the surrounding temperatures. When it is cold, the cable's core has many conductive paths that generate enough heat to keep the water flowing in the pipe. As the surrounding temperature warms, there are fewer conductive paths and less heat is generated. This self-regulating technology ensures the right amount of heat when and where it is needed.
COLLECT THE FOLLOWING NECESSARY INFORMATION: Pipe Size: Outside
diameter & Length:
Calculate the exact heater length you need: Multiply the cable length required per foot of pipe by the length of your pipe. Add one extra foot for each valve located in your line. Add the length from the pipe to the electrical outlet. Maximum cable length is 50 ft. (Cable length required per foot of pipe x
pipe length) Refer to the length selection charts above. These charts will tell you the length of the cable you need per foot of pipe and also the recommended distance to leave between each spiral wrap of cable on the pipe. How to use the length selection charts: Choose either chart # 1 or chart # 2 for your type of pipe (plastic or metal). Read down to find you pipe diameter, then read across to the box below your lowest expected temperature. The first number appearing in the box will tell you the length (feet) of cable you need per foot of pipe. The second number indicates the recommended distance between each spiral wrap of cable on the pipe. The abbreviation "str" indicates that the cable should be run in a straight line instead of a spiral wrap.
