Internal Water Supply Freeze Protection
Retro-Line Mini is an internal self-regulating heat tracing system designed to provide freeze protection of existing small diameter water supply and fluid pipes without their removal. Insulation and an optional thermostat can be used to optimize energy efficiency.
CSA/NSF Approved
Retro-Line Mini is the only cCSAus NSF/ANSI 61 Drinking Water approved, internal self-regulating P and X factory finished freeze protection system for small diameter pipes available on the market.
Complete System
The Retro-Line Mini system is supplied in a predetermined length with all necessary components for a complete system. For polyethylene pipe applications Retro-Line Mini is supplied with a compression fitting for connection to the pipe.
Multiple Interfacing
An ID controlled tee fitting for polyethylene pipe is supplied standard with the Retro-Line Mini system. Retro-Line Mini can also be ordered with a CTS controlled tee or a threaded male adapter for easy interfacing to pipe such as ABS, PVC, PEX, copper, galvanized and steel.
Requirements
Retro-Line Mini orders require the length of heating cable and pipe size for polyethylene installations or male adapter thread size for other pipe installations. System lengths are 3 W/ft 120 V up to 130 feet and 5 W/ft 120 V up to 100 feet . Minimum pipe size required is ½ inch ID.
Fully Serviceable
Short Retro-Line Minis can simply be pushed into the pipe while longer systems may be pulled in using a fish tape. The downward end of the cable does not need to be internally fastened, as it will not re-coil, which is extremely important as it renders the system fully serviceable. The system can be removed and replaced should it become necessary.
Easy Installation
Heat-Line developed a unique, patented dispensing system called “RetroReel” to protect the heating cable and fittings from mechanical injury while the product is deployed into the pipe with absolute ease. It is not unusual to push systems in up to 100 feet.
Versatile Application
Retro-Line Mini can be used in a variety of applications, including small diameter metal and plastic water supply, sump pump lines and pressurized or high volume drain pipes.
