The self-limiting heating cable may only be used for
installations with pipes of metal or plastic.
When installing heating cables on plastic pipes:
• Place a strip of aluminium tape on the pipe.
• Place the heating cable on the aluminium
tape.
• Secure the heating cables with aluminum
tape.
It is recommended that the entire cable is covered
with aluminum tape, to ensure efficient heat trans-
fer to the plastic pipe.
The cable must be placed optimal on the 5 or 7
o’clock position of the pipe, thus mechanical strain
of the heating cable is prevented when e.g. the
insulators are working along the pipe.
There must always be as much insulation as pos-
sible on the pipe to reduce the heat loss.
WARNING!
230V AC HEATING CABLE
• When the heating cable is installed on pipes,
the insulation should be clearly marked with
a warning.
Installation on Special Flanges and Pumps
• Always observe the minimum tolerable bend-
ing diameter of 50 mm (64 mm for ECice-
guard 18 (SLPG-15, SLIG-18)!
• Heating cables on specials, valves etc. should
always be positioned so that they are easily
assessable and replaceable in connection
with inspection and repair and so that it will
not be necessary to cut them! You can avoid
this problem when there is sufficient cable
wrapped in a spiral around the specials.
