The Ebeco Frostvakt may only be covered with material that withstands a minimum of +65 °C.
The rubber cable must not be replaced, if it is damaged the entire Ebeco Frostvakt must be scrapped.

Installing exterior frost protection

Use electrical tape to secure the cable to the pipe or component you want to protect from frost. Always insulate the pipe or part in order to retain heat, with pipe wrap for example. If the cable is too long, or if you want to have a higher power output, you can also install the cable around the pipe or part as a spiral. On water meters or larger pipe fittings, wind the cable. It doesn’t matter if the cable is crossed. Neither the cable nor the part will get too hot.

Installing interior frost protection

Important: While the Ebeco Frostvakt is plugged in it always emits a certain amount of power, and this always produces a rise in water temperature. With interior laying the output is considerably higher than with exterior laying. The operating temperature, and thereby the water temperature, varies depending on the mode of installation, the thickness of the insulation and the ambient temperature. For permanent use, and in particular with longer lengths, the cable should be connected via a fixed installation and controlled via a thermostat.

For installation inside a water pipe you also have to add a approved bushing
