Product Information
Heat-Line is a job-ready freeze-protection kit used for new installations, where pipe and freeze protection of domestic water supply is required. Heat-Line is manufactured complete with the self-regulating heating cable factory installed in a 1" or 1 ¼", 75 PSI, CSA approved polyethylene pipe with the necessary plumbing fittings supplied. A 27 milliamp ground fault circuit interrupter is integral within the electrical cord-set. Heat-Line can be used in many applications including, cottages, homes, resorts and farms where burying below the frost line is not an option. Insulation and an optional thermostat can be used to optimize energy efficiency.
Product Application Heat-Line is used to freeze-protect water supply pipes from a lake, river, drilled or dug well where burying below the frost line is not an option. In a lake application, the internal heating cable should terminate in the lake at a minimum depth of 6' at LOW water mark. This is to be certain the pipe will be freeze protected below ice level to maintain free-flowing water within the pipes entire length. In areas where the recommended depth cannot be reached, a shore well may be considered - check with local ministries and authorities. In applications where pipes will be exposed to atmospheric (free) air, closed-cell or other approved weatherproof insulation is required. Insulation will help to maintain energy efficiency and cold temperature reliability. Insulation is recommended for use in all new applications; however any pipe subjected to outside air must be completely insulated to retain the heat within the pipe. In extremely harsh conditions or in high pressure installations such as municipal water service tubing or constant pressure systems, CARAPACE is highly recommended. Specifications
