  Installation and use

  • The heating cable can be secured linearly according to the diameter of the pipe;
  • The cable can be cut to the desired length directly during installation;
  • Minimum bending radius: 27 mm;
  • The power of a metre of cable varies with the room temperature;
  • The total power depends on the length of the heating cable. The heating core is active along the entire length of the cable, therefore, a cold tail end must be created so as to have a section with cold terminals (using the KIT2A);
  • Secure the cable to the pipe with the relevant fixing tape K50 for steel pipes or K50AL for plastic pipes;
  • It is advisable to apply an insulating coating over the heating cable for an effective system.

  • The heat emission varies automatically without control thermostats being used. They are based on the property of some polymers, with which the conductors are insulated, to vary their resistance according to the temperature which they are subjected to;
  • Using a thermostat (L03BI1A) allows periodic heating of the system to be guaranteed or to maintain the system temperature constant.
