Heating cable with temperature sensor: reliable frost protection for water pipes

Effective protection against frost damage: the professional solution for water pipes

Reliably protect your water pipes against frost and costly pipe bursts. The self-regulating heating cable with integrated temperature sensor automatically adjusts its heat output to the ambient temperature and ensures optimum 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 its heat output according to the outside temperature
• Integrated temperature sensor: Precise temperature monitoring for demand-based operation
• Energy-efficient: Only heats when needed, saving electricity costs
• Operating temperature range: Activation from +3°C down 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 water jets
• UV-resistant: Suitable for outdoor use
• Flexible design: Easily adapts to different pipe diameters and routings

Applications

Residential buildings & private households

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

Commercial & industrial

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

Outdoor facilities

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

Technical specifications

Further technical features:

Advantages of self-regulating heating cable technology

• Cost savings: Avoids expensive pipe bursts and water damage caused by frost
• Energy efficiency: Automatic output adjustment reduces electricity consumption
• Maintenance-free: Once installed, the system works fully automatically
• Safety: Overheating protection thanks to self-regulating technology
• Flexibility: Can be cut to any length (for longer variants)

Planning recommendation for optimum frost protection

Basic rule for sizing:

• Pipe length = cable length: The heating cable is laid parallel to the pipe
• For pipe diameters over 40 mm: Spiral routing recommended
• Additional insulation: Increases efficiency and reduces energy consumption
• Areas at risk of frost: Especially on exterior walls, in unheated rooms or for underground pipes

Mounting & installation

Easy installation in just a few steps:

1. Preparation: Clean and dry the pipe
2. Laying: Attach the heating cable to the pipe in parallel or in a spiral
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 into the socket and the system works automatically

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

Scope of delivery

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

Sustainability & efficiency

Environmentally conscious heating technology

• Demand-based operation: Only heats when there is an actual risk of frost
• Durability: High-quality materials for years of reliable operation
• Resource protection: Prevents water loss from pipe bursts
• Can be combined with renewable energy: 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 the mains voltage before installation
• Do not use a damaged cable
• Carry out installation in accordance with VDE regulations

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