FE Heat Trace Cable

 

Features

  • Temperature Exposure Rating 400°F (204°C)

  • Ease of installation—cut to length at the job site

  • Moisture and chemical resistant

  • Stands up to repeated handling and flexing

  • Field proven industrial grade construction

  • Single end power connection

 

The FE Style cable heating element is tension wrapped and covered with a fluorocarbon film and enclosed in a minimum 20 mil Teflon® FEP abrasion resistant extruded jacket. This tough outer cover provides moisture and dielectric protection as well as resistance to abrasion. A layer of tinned copper braid is then applied to meet NEC code and to provide mechanical protection as well as a low resistance to ground.

Lead Termination and Cable Kits for Self-Limiting Cables

In order to maintain the integrity of the insulation, termination kits must be used to add leads or splice the heating cables. The termination kits are designed to fully seal using a general purpose silicone RTV sealant, such as GE RTV108, on the final connections.
Termination Kit Type Part Number
Universal Connection/Termination Kit HTP90006
Lead and End Kit for 5 circuits HTP90007
Single Lead Term. HTP90008
Single End Term. HTP90009
Cable Splice Kit HTP90010
Each Universal Connection/Termination Kit can be used to make one power input connection, or one power input splice and two end terminations. These assemblies are watertight and suitable for use in Division hazardous locations.

Splice Kit has sufficient material for 1 in-line splices or 1 tee splices.
