Introduction
The new nVent RAYCHEM XL-Trace Edge sets a new standard for Commercial pipe freeze protection and grease waste flow maintenance in North America. It delivers industry-leading performance, specifications, reliability and value. XL-Trace has been a trusted solution for its best-in-class performance and reliability for many years. Originally developed in the 1980’s with Raychem polymer technology, it has been continuously improved over time and now the next generation XL-Trace Edge delivers higher operating [154°F (68°C)] and exposure [185°F (85°C)] temperatures that exceed the operating temperature of competing cables [150°F (65°C)]. XL-Trace Edge has longer circuit lengths than the prior generation XL-Trace cables which can reduce Total Installed Cost (TIC).
GOALS
Educate consulting engineers, contractors, end users and distributors on
the nVent RAYCHEM XL-Trace Edge system. Educate distributors to identify
applications where these products are a good solution, and ask the right
questions to develop a BOM with the most appropriate heating cables,connection
kits and accessories.
AUDIENCE
Engineering firms, contractors, commercial building operators and
distributor personnel looking for smart and reliable pipe freeze protection
and grease waste flow maintenance alternatives to other less effective
solutions.
APPLICATIONS
XL-Trace Edge is the industry-leading solution for general Commercial freeze
protection applications such as HVAC and fire suppression piping; and
temperature maintenance applications such as a grease waste flow maintenance
system.
XL-Trace Edge self-regulating heating cables are available with either fluoropolymer (-CT) or polyolefin (-CR) outer jacket for piping of all sizes in dry and wet locations.
- Energy efficient, simple to design and easy to install
- Rugged metal braid increases reliability
- Fluoro polymer outer jacket provides exceptional mechanical and chemical protection against corrosive Fats, Oils, and Greases (FOG)
- Provides superior and environmentally friendly performance versus solutions such as hydrojetting, steam cleaning and chemical treatments
- Ideal for above ground and below ground pipes.
