Silicone Heating Tapes are a new solution to traditional heat trace cable. The RKP tapes have an ultra-thin profile with a super flexible 1/4” (6mm) bend radius. The RKP heating tapehas a low watt-density of 6W/ft to provide safe operation and avoid overheating. No temperature controller is required because a built-in, set thermostat continuously monitors and controls the temperature output of the heater. The complete unit is fully encapsulated in silicone rubber to provide an extremely flexible, durable, and moisture resistant heater. This design makes an extremely versatile heater for a wide variety of indoor/outdoor installations.
Self Regulating Heat Trace Cable
Self-Regulating Heat Cable is commonly used for freeze protection of water and drain lines, and for protecting residential and commercial roofs and gutters from ice dams. The temperature rating is for the heat cable’s outer jacket and has nothing to do with the actual temperature of the cable. For most residential applications, you will choose the low temperature cable, as most water lines in the home never exceed 150 degrees.
