Heating cable R-ETL-B, low-profile self-regulating, 16 W/m at 5°C, fluoropolymer coating, pipe freeze protection, possible installation inside pipe - high chemical resistance P000002042

Self-regulating heating cable – reliable frost protection

This low-profile, self-regulating heating cable is an effective solution to protect pipelines from the effects of low temperatures. It is ideal for both professional and home anti-freeze systems. Thanks to its design and properties, it provides not only effective protection, but also easy installation and use.

Features and applications

The cable is primarily intended for heating pipelines, preventing water from freezing inside them. Its versatility allows for installation both outside and inside pipes – providing flexibility in choosing the installation method. Made of high-quality materials, including a fluoropolymer coating, it guarantees chemical resistance and long-lasting reliability. The self-regulating heating power (16 W/m at 5°C) adjusts to current ambient conditions, ensuring optimal energy consumption and eliminating the risk of overheating.

• Frost protection: Effectively protects pipelines from damage caused by low temperatures.
• Self-regulation: Automatically adjusts the heating power to the ambient temperature – energy saving and no risk of overheating.
• Versatile installation: Can be laid on pipes or inside them – installation flexibility.
• Chemical resistance: Fluoropolymer coating provides resistance to chemical substances.
• Safety: Can be cut to any length at the installation site and cables can be crossed without risk of damage. Safe for plastic pipes.
• Long-term operation: Made of durable materials ensuring reliable operation for years.

Parameters and additional information

The cable is powered by 230 V and has a copper braid screen. Its compact dimensions (width 8.5 mm, height 5.8 mm) make it easy to install even in hard-to-reach places. The maximum operating temperature is 65°C, and the maximum medium temperature is 40°C. It is important to remember the limitations regarding the length of the heating circuit – for cables laid on pipes, the maximum length is 100 m (with 16 A protection), and for cables laid inside pipes – 60 m (with 16 A protection).

Additionally, the product is covered by a 10-year warranty, after registering it on the Raychem manufacturer's website and using original Raychem accessories – which proves its high quality and reliability. The cable was manufactured in the USA, confirming its compliance with the highest production standards.
