Residential Hot Water Electric Heat Trace Cable
With
the use of Heat Trace Products electric heat trace cables, hot water can be maintained in piping
without the use of re-circulation systems. The same technology used
in the 2700 series heating cable is employed to eliminate the need for
expensive return piping, valves, pumps, and maintenance associated
with re-circulation systems.
Why Choose Heat Trace Products?
Each heating cable type is designed for the heat loss associated with a particular environment (static water insulated piping of a particular size and at a given ambient temperature). When no hot water is being used, the heating cable produces heat to maintain the desired temperature. No thermostat is required. The electric heat trace cable will adjust its heat output to minimize electrical consumption costs. For conveniece to the installer, the heating cable is offered in 120, 208 and 240-volt versions.
Low Temperature Exposure (up to 185°F)
Non-hazardous and hazardous Division 2 locations:
The 2700 family of self-regulating heating cable can maintain fluid temperatures up to 150°F. Conservatively rated for a maximum exposure of 185°F, this heating cable series has passed the IEEE-515 32 week service life performance benchmark test at 230°F. A variety of cable constructions are available for a particular application.
Hazardous (Division 1) locations:
Applications to these areas require separate design information that must be reviewed and approved by Heat Trace.
2700 Series Features
- 25 years of self-regulating heat trace experience
- Can be applied to all residential roof and gutter types
- No need for thermostatic controls
- Easily repaired if damaged
- Can be overlapped without potential for overheating (unlike constant wattage)
- Cut to length in the field
2800 Series Features
- 150°F maintain temperature
- 185°F maximum exposure temperature
- Available in both 120 volt and 240 volt versions.
- Like all self-regulating heat trace cables, the 2800 can be overlapped and minimizes energy consumption.
- The need for thermostats and the potential for burnouts are eliminated.
