The system comes in a pre-determined length with the self-regulating heating cable already installed inside 75 PSI, CSA approved polyethylene pipe. The system is easy to install, just unroll the pipe and interface to plumbing fittings as necessary as you would with any non-heated poly. The Heat-Line system is safe to insulate and will make the heating cable operate more efficiently and reliably when used.
Thermostat and timers are optional with Heat-Line. They can be used to duty cycle the heating cable in an on/off operation making it more energy efficient. Heat-Line orders require the length of system and size of pipe. Maximum system length in 240 volt is 300 feet.
