Important Notes
- The existence of the trace heating cable has to be made evident by on-site warning notices, e.g. in the fuse box. Furthermore they have to be part of the electrical documentation alongside the installation.
- Please make sure that during normal operation the temperature of the pipes does not exceed more than 60°C.
- Please avoid sharp edges as well as high drag forces when installing and drawing the heating tapes.
- Cover the trace heating cable with an aluminium adhesive tape when installing onto plastic pipes and plastic components.
- You must not go below the minimum bending radius.
- It is recommended to have the installation done by an electrical qualified person.
- The installation must be fitted in accordance with the latest local and international regulations and standards.
- Frost protection for up to 54mm pipes. If your requirements are greater please contact us for a solution.

Step 2 Install the trace heating cable (depending on the thickness of the pipe and the required heating power) alongside the pipe - in single or multiple runs, and fix it to the pipe at approximately 300mm intervals using the cable ties provided. Refer to the recommended installation positions below. | |
Step 3 For plastic pipe and plastic components the trace heating cable must be wrapped with an aluminium adhesive tape. | |
Step 4 After installation of the trace heating cable, the pipes must be insulated with a minimum of 20mm lagging (Armaflex/PU Foam/Mineral Wool). |
