Heating cable with temperature sensor – Reliable frost protection for water pipes

Effective protection against frost damage – The professional solution for water pipes

Protect your water pipes reliably against frost and costly pipe bursts. The self-regulating heating cable with integrated temperature sensor automatically adjusts its heating output to the ambient temperature and ensures optimal frost protection with minimal energy consumption.

Technical highlights at a glance

Intelligent self-regulation for maximum efficiency

• Automatic temperature adjustment: The heating cable independently regulates the heating output according to the outside temperature
• Integrated temperature sensor: Precise temperature monitoring for demand-driven operation
• Energy efficient: Heats only when needed, saving electricity costs
• Operating temperature range: Activation from +3°C to -40°C

Robust construction for long-lasting performance

• High-quality materials: Resistant to moisture and mechanical stress
• Protection class IP65: Fully protected against dust and jet water
• UV-resistant: Suitable for outdoor use
• Flexible design: Easy adaptation to different pipe diameters and installations

Areas of application

Residential buildings & private households

Protection of water pipes in unheated basements, garages, outdoor areas, or under gutters. Prevents frost damage to exposed pipes.

Commercial & Industrial

Protection of water pipes in warehouses, workshops, agricultural businesses, or production sites with frost-prone areas.

Outdoor facilities

Frost protection for garden water pipes, outdoor taps, irrigation systems, or water pipes in garden houses and outbuildings.

Technical specifications

Further technical features:

Advantages of self-regulating heating cable technology

• Cost savings: Avoidance of costly pipe bursts and water damage due to frost
• Energy efficiency: Automatic power adjustment reduces electricity consumption
• Maintenance-free: Once installed, the system operates fully automatically
• Safety: Overheating protection through self-regulating technology
• Flexibility: Can be cut to any length (for longer variants)

Planning recommendation for optimal frost protection

Basic rule for sizing:

• Pipe length = Cable length: The heating cable is laid parallel to the pipeline
• For pipe diameters over 40 mm: Spiral installation recommended
• Additional insulation: Increases efficiency and reduces energy consumption
• Frost-prone areas: Especially on exterior walls, in unheated rooms, or buried pipes

Assembly & Installation

Simple installation in a few steps:

1. Preparation: Clean and dry the pipeline
2. Installation: Attach heating cable parallel or spirally to the pipe
3. Fixing: Secure with supplied adhesive tape and cable ties
4. Insulation: Wrap pipe and heating cable with suitable pipe insulation
5. Commissioning: Plug into socket – the system operates automatically

Important note: Installation should be carried out according to applicable electrical installation regulations. In case of uncertainty, we recommend commissioning a professional electrical company.

Scope of Delivery

• 1x self-regulating heating cable with temperature sensor (selected length)
• 1x connection cable (1.5 m) with protective contact plug
• Mounting material (adhesive tape, cable ties)
• Installation instructions and safety notes

Sustainability & efficiency

Environmentally conscious heating technology

• Demand-oriented operation: Heats only when there is an actual frost risk
• Durability: High-quality materials for years of reliable operation
• Resource protection: Prevents water loss due to pipe bursts
• Compatible with renewable energies: Operation with green electricity or photovoltaics possible

Safety instructions

• Do not overlap or cross – risk of overheating
• Do not lay under heat-insulating materials without air circulation
• Check mains voltage before installation
• Do not use damaged cable
• Carry out installation according to VDE regulations

Choose the appropriate cable length for your application and reliably protect your water pipes from frost. The self-regulating heating cable combines efficiency, safety, and easy installation into an unbeatable price-performance ratio.
