Heat Trace Cables

GF Urecon offers a variety of cables for your heat tracing needs.

GF Urecon offers a complete range of heat tracing cables and controls for freeze protection and for some industrial applications. The range includes:

  • Constant Watt Thermocable® that are easy to manipulate and cut to length
  • Series Type Thermocable LR that are ideal for long pipe runs
  • Self-regulating cables that are cost-effective, reliable, and easy to install

GF Urecon Constant watt parallel heat trace cable Thermocable

Constant Watt Thermocable®

Best suited as an “off-the-shelf” product used on circuits which do not exceed 140m at 120V; 240m at 240V; 425m at 600V, THERMOCABLE® fluoropolymer constant watt cut - to - length heat tracing cable is a parallel resistance type heating strip which uses a thermally stable nichrome heating wire, with a series of heating zones. These heating zones produce constant, predictable wattage per meter output. THERMOCABLE® is ideally suited for pulling into trace channels on Urecon pre-insulated metal or plastic pipe systems.

GF Urecon Series heat trace cable Thermocable LR

Series Type Thermocable LR

Series type heating cables are desirable when heated lengths exceed the circuit limitations of our off-the-shelf constant watt THERMOCABLE®. Often used in long pipe runs in mining where power is scare and often expensive. A series type cable has a constant power output throughout its length and may be used to trace pre-insulated pipes to 3659 m (12000 ft) or more in length from one power supply point. This is a lightweight product, easy to pull into heat trace channels and provides proven long term performance and reliability.

Series type heat trace cable cannot be cut to length in the field. Each application must be engineered and a cable of the appropriate resistance chosen for the application (voltage, circuit length and power output).

Although long electrical circuit lengths are possible, the series type cable must be supplied in shorter physical lengths to permit conduit pulling. If installed above ground, series junction boxes may be used to connect the cables together; if buried, the cable may be spliced under the thermal insulation at these points.

Self-Regulating heat-tracing cables

Self-regulating

These cables are ideal for freeze protection and process temperature maintenance on pipe, tanks and valves for residential and commercial applications for exposure to organic or corrosive solutions. These cables use the latest self-regulating technology adjusting heat output according to the ambient temperature, making them energy efficient and cost effective.
