  • 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.
