ABOUT PALADIN®

Paladin is a CCSAus approved job-ready freeze protection system designed for installation on the outside of metallic and non-metallic pipes in indoor and outdoor applications. Paladin is certified for wet locations and direct earth burial, making it suitable to be installed inside non-pressurized, non-potable pipes such as drainage pipes. The Paladin system is easily adapted to various applications including cottages, homes, resorts, farms and commercial/industrial buildings.

CCSAus approved (Canada and USA)

ABOUT EXT SERIES

The EXT-R and EXT-T Series systems are CCSAus approved for external pipe freeze protection. Installed in similar applications to the Paladin, the EXT-R Series provides the added option of greater circuit lengths.

In contrast, the EXT-T Series provides an advanced fluoropolymer outer heating cable jacket. The EXT-R and EXT-T Series also offer various output options not available in the Paladin. The EXT-T Series product is an excellent choice for harsh environments as it is compatible with select corrosive, organic or inorganic materials.

INSTALLATION

Installed in a different fashion when compared to traditional style heat tape products, the Paladin and EXT Series systems are high-quality products that offer true flexibility during the installation. With Paladin and EXT Series systems, the heating cable is simply applied on the pipe in a single run in most applications, reducing the overall length of the product by as much as 60%. For extremely cold weather areas or pipe diameters greater than 2 inches, a dual trace installation may be required. For example, 100 ft of heating cable for a 50 ft long pipe.

END SEAL TECHNOLOGY

Paladin and EXT Series systems are end-seal terminated with an exclusive and proprietary process developed by Heat-Line, certified by cCSAus for wet locations, and suitable for direct earth burial.

SELF-REGULATING HEATING CABLES

The Paladin and EXT Series systems employ the unique performance and operating characteristics of advanced self-regulating heating cable technology. The heating cable is built around a conductive polymer core, which automatically adjusts its heat output to match heat loss at every point throughout the system length. As the temperature increases, Heat-Line products automatically decrease their heat output and vice versa. The result is energy savings.

INSULATION

A thermally insulated pipe requires much less heat to protect and is not as susceptible to freezing. Heat-Line products are designed to be installed with thermal insulation to reduce heat loss and significantly improve energy efficiency. When the warmth generated by the heating cable system is captured by insulation, the energy consumed by the heating cable is vastly reduced.
Rizer-line Insulation

THERMOSTATS AND TIMERS

Thermostats and timers control the heating cable’s ON/OFF operation, reducing the energy consumed by the device. This helps to reduce the amount of energy consumed and thus increases your energy savings by as much as 80% when combined with insulation.
