  Installation and use

  • The cable can only be cut at the indicated splicing points;
  • Minimum bending radius 20 mm;
  • The length of the cable varies according to the diameter of the pipe;
  • The cable must be secured along the pipe with the relevant fixing tape code K50 for steel pipes or code K50AL for plastic pipes;
  • In the case of large pipes, the strips may need to be wound so as to ensure adequate heat;
  • The conductors have cold tails and can be connected directly to the thermostat or to the junction box;
  • At the end of the cable, the 2 conductors must be kept insulated and must not come into contact with each other; use the kit to seal the terminals for cables with constant power (for 1 cable) code KIT1A;
  • It is advisable to apply an insulating coating over the heating cable for a correct installation;
  • Refer to the table to check whether the cables must be wound in a spiral with an increase in the required length.

  • The heating cables consist of a coil-wound resistance on two conductors. The resistance is in contact with the conductors through splicing points at constant intervals; the energy to heat the resistance is drawn at the splicing points;
  • The total power of the cable is determined by a combination of temperature, length of the heating circuit and supply voltage;
  • They require control thermostats to be used to function.
