Cable Lengths Heated + Unheated Lengths Pre-terminated, Plug-in Heat Tape lengths are available from 6-Feet – 150-feet of heated Length – The 10-foot power cord included with every Heat Tape PRO is in addition to the purchased length. So a 100-foot heat tape cable will have an actual length of 110 feet from plug to glow cap. A 6-foot heat tape cable will be 16 feet in total length. Note: Availability of different heat tape lengths is based on our inventory. Lengths that are out of stock will be noted next to the product price when it is selected. Electrical Requirements & Recommendations We recommend having a dedicated circuit for your heat tape system. Having any additional item(s) on your circuit along with your heat tape may cause your breaker to trip, rendering your Heat Tape powerless and ineffective. The outlet you plug your Heat Tape Pro into should be a property wired GFCI outlet. If you need to add a circuit to your panel or have a GFCI outlet installed, it is always recommended having this done by a certified and licensed electrician. Extension Cords Extension cords should not be used with heat tape, as they can overheat and create a safety risk. Aways plug the cable directly into a properly rated outlet. Every length of our plug-in ready heat tape pro comes with a 10-foot cold lead (cord) and it is not dangerous to have extra length of heated cable utilized for the purpose of getting to the outlet, if required. If you are installing a new GFCI outlet for your heat tape, consider the optimal location of the outlet for use with the heat tape. .cls-1 {} Multiple Heat Tape Cables at Once Some installations may make use of multiple Heat Tape cables simultaneously. Understanding the electrical limitations of your panel will be instructive in designing your system. If you want to use multiple cables on a single circuit do not exceed the following aggregate length(s) of heat tape: For 15 Amp Circuits: 113 Linear Feet of Heat TapeFor 20 Amp Circuits: 150 Linear Feet of Heat Tape Cable Specifications Outer Jacket: UV-Resistant TPE Cable Dimensions: 6mm (thick) x 12mm (wide) Output at 50ºF (10ºC): 6 watts per foot* Output at 32ºF (0ºC): 9.6 watts per foot* Voltage: 120 volts Minimum Circuit Size: 15 amp Max Exposure Temp: 185ºF (85ºC)** Average Cable Temp: 40ºF-100ºF (4ºC – 37ºC)*** Minimum Install Temp: 5ºF (-15ºC) * As temperatures decrease, cable wattage will increase. In snowy conditions, cable wattage will also be increased until snow is melted off of cable. ** Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may cause premature cable degradation. This is referred to as ‘maximum exposure temperature’. *** Under normal operating conditions, our cable will operate within these average temperature ranges. The cable will not get hot enough to damage or burn adjacent materials (plastic, wood, metal, etc…) Cable Construction
