About:

This QTVR heating cable is engineered to deliver consistent and efficient heat distribution with its self-regulating capability, which adjusts the power output along its length in response to temperature changes. The 16 watts per foot rating indicates its power output, providing substantial heating capability for various applications.

Also Known As:

• Self-Regulating Heating Cable
• Trace Heating Cable
• Heat Trace Cable
• Conductive Polymer Heating Cable

Application:

• Freeze Protection: Prevents freezing in water pipes, tanks, and other fluid systems, especially critical in colder climates.
• Temperature Maintenance: Ensures that sensitive materials or processes are maintained at specific temperatures, crucial in industries like food processing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
• Roof and Gutter De-icing: Prevents ice dams and icicle formation, reducing the risk of damage to structures and injury to people.
• Floor Heating: Provides underfloor heating in residential, commercial, or industrial settings, enhancing comfort and efficiency.

Standards:

• UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listing for safety standards.
• CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification.
• CE marking indicating compliance with EU safety, health, and environmental requirements. 

Construction:

• Inner Heating Core: Self-regulating conductive polymer matrix that adjusts heat output based on temperature.
• Conductive Layer: Typically a metal layer that helps distribute heat uniformly.
• Insulation Layer: Electrical insulation that also provides environmental protection.
