Complete Freeze Protected

Polyethylene Pipe System
The Heat-Line system is supplied in a pre-determined length with the self- regulating heating cable already installed inside 75 PSI, CSA-approved polyethylene pipe. Philmac plumbing fitting was also supplied.

Easy Installation
Just unroll the pipe and interface to plumbing fittings as necessary as you would with any non-heated poly.

Reliable Above Ground
Heat-Line has been proven to keep water from freezing at -40ºC/F when installed above ground with ¾-inch thick pipe insulation. No need to blast rock to bury the pipe.

Energy Efficient
Save up to 80% in energy consumption when combining thermostats and insulation. The thermostat and timers are optional with the heat line. They can be used to duty cycle the heating cable in an on/off operation making it more energy efficient. Heat-Line is safe to insulate and will make the heating cable operate more efficiently and reliably when used.

Requirements
Heat-line orders require the length of the system and the size of the pipe. The maximum system length of 240 volts is 300 feet.

Emergency Systems
In many applications, Heat-Line is ordered for new builds where the water system is not yet complete. Heat-Line is ordered with insulation and installed on the ground until the following year when the trench can be dug and the same Heat-Line system buried.

Energy Efficient
With its self-regulating heating cable. Heat-Line can be the most energy- efficient heating cable available, providing you insulate and add a thermostat.

Fully Serviceable
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.

Customizable
In many cases, custom lengths can be ordered such as 80 feet of heating cable installed inside 100 feet of pipe.
