Product Usage Instructions

The Heat-Line system is designed for new pipe installations. 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. In many cases, custom lengths can be ordered such as 80 feet of heating cable installed inside 100 feet of pipe.

The Heat-Line system is a fully serviceable product. Should you need to remove the heating cable, simply remove the plumbing tee fitting and pull out the heating cable.

Heat-Line accessories are available to enhance the performance of the system. These include plug-in thermostat, hard wire thermostat with GFEP, plug-in timer, hard wire timer, GFCI/ELCI, insulation sleeves, and tape for insulation sleeve butt joints.
