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 burst pipes. The self-regulating heating cable with an integrated temperature sensor automatically adjusts its heating output to the ambient temperature, ensuring 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 adjusts its heating output according to the outdoor temperature
• Integrated temperature sensor: Precise temperature monitoring for demand-based operation
• Energy-efficient: Heats only when needed, thereby reducing electricity costs
• Operating temperature range: Activates from +3°C down to -40°C

Robust construction for long-lasting performance

• High-quality materials: Resistant to moisture and mechanical stress
• IP65 protection class: Fully protected against dust and water jets
• UV-resistant: Suitable for outdoor use
• Flexible design: Easy to adapt to different pipe diameters and installation layouts

Areas of application

Residential buildings & private households

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

Commercial & industrial

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

Outdoor areas

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

Technical specifications

Additional technical features:

Benefits of self-regulating heating cable technology

• Cost savings: Prevents expensive burst pipes and frost-related water damage
• 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 sizing rule:

• Pipe length = cable length: The heating cable is installed parallel to the pipe
• For pipe diameters over 40 mm: Spiral installation is recommended
• Additional insulation: Increases efficiency and reduces energy consumption
• Areas at risk of frost: Particularly along exterior walls, in unheated rooms, or in buried pipes

Assembly & installation

Easy installation in just a few steps:

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

Important note: Installation should be carried out in accordance with the applicable electrical installation regulations. If you are unsure, we recommend hiring a qualified electrician.

Scope of delivery

• 1x self-regulating heating cable with temperature sensor (selected length)
• 1x connection cable (1.5 m) with safety plug
• Fixing materials (adhesive tape, cable ties)
• Installation instructions and safety information

Sustainability & efficiency

Environmentally conscious heating technology

• Demand-based operation: Heats only when there is an actual risk of frost
• Durability: High-quality materials for years of reliable operation
• Resource conservation: Prevents water loss caused by burst pipes
• Compatible with renewable energy: Can be operated with green electricity or photovoltaic power

Safety instructions

• Do not overlap or cross the cable – risk of overheating
• Do not install beneath heat-insulating materials without air circulation
• Check the mains voltage before installation
• Do not use damaged cables
• Install in accordance with VDE regulations

Choose the right cable length for your application and reliably protect your water pipes from frost. The self-regulating heating cable combines efficiency, safety, and easy installation with unbeatable value for money.
