RS PRO range of parallel circuit heating tape, with a constant wattage output for process temperature maintenance applications. This tape is flexible enough to allow it to be spiralled around a suitable pipe or vessel. The heating tape consists of several short heating zones each connected across a pair of continuous bus-wire conductors.
The main role of heat trace cables is stopping pipework from freezing. When water pipes freeze and burst, this can cause a great deal of damage and expense to homeowners and businesses. Heating cables provide controllable heat which helps pipes from freezing and keep liquids moving.
RS PRO have a great range of trace heating products which can help protect pipes from freezing, by maintaining the right temperature inside the pipe.
Heat tapes are a flexible solution that can be used to heat any surface or body requiring fast and efficient direct-contact heating.

FAQs
When is trace heating required?
Trace heating cable systems are ideal for protecting pipes from freezing, maintaining the temperature of a hot water system and maintaining process temperatures for smooth and efficient running of process plant equipment.
Why RS PRO?
RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice. Trusted by engineers all over the world, every part of every RS PRO product has been rigorously tested against demanding industry standards; they’re only given the RS PRO Seal of Approval if we’re confident of their exceptional quality, which means you can be confident too.

Stringently tested as part of our own RS PRO range, this trace heating cable reduces the risk of pipework bursting when standing water freezes and expands. By regulating the internal temperature of pipes, the cable prevents blockages and ruptures caused by ice.

The constant-wattage cable can be site terminated and customized for pipework up to 100 metres in length. The cable supplies controllable heat through a fixed resistance filament to eliminate no-flow conditions of pipes and has an operating range between -60°C and +200°C. It comes in a tough sheath of silicone rubber.

When combined with temperature monitoring devices and thermostats, this cable can be used for internal and external freeze protection. It's commonly used in hazardous industrial environments and can also be found in domestic garages or outbuildings.
