Frost protection heating pipe

A frost protection heating pipe prevents water pipes from freezing. The thermostat in the heating cable switches the cable on automatically

What must be observed with 230 V heating pipes:

• Always attach the heating cable to the underside of the pipe
• The water pipe must be earthed
• the 230 V heating cables must be ready to plug in and connected to a power supply with a circuit breaker (RCD 30 mA)
• the heating cables must not be shortened and should therefore be ordered in the correct length
• Remaining lengths can be wrapped around the pipe in coils (note that a minimum coil spacing of 15 mm must be maintained here)
• Do not kink the heating cable and observe the maximum bending radius of approx. 35 mm
• the heating cables can be attached to the pipe with insulating tape or aluminium tape (222809)
• when using plastic pipes, the pipe must be wrapped with aluminium tape (222809) before laying the heating cable
• When using plastic pipes, please observe separate special installation instructions
• the pipe and the heating cable should be insulated with insulation of max. 13 mm
• the thermostat of the heating cable should be installed at the coldest position of the pipework
• the thermostat must only be moderately insulated
• Do not use 230 volt heating cables in the bite area of animals
• installation must be carried out by a qualified specialist in accordance with VDE0100

What should I bear in mind when using plastic water pipes?

Never install heating cables directly on plastic pipes. For better heat transfer, the plastic pipe must first be completely covered with aluminium adhesive tape (art. no. 222809). Important: Only use plastic pipes that are suitable for hot water installations. Otherwise the pipework may be damaged and water may leak out.

Should pipework and heating cables be insulated?
To ensure economical operation of the installation, the pipework and heating cable should be insulated with heat-resistant mineral wool or foam insulation with a maximum thickness of 13 mm

• keeps your water pipe frost-free down to max. -45 °C
• Integrated frost protection thermostat (switch-on temperature approx. +5 °C, switch-off temperature approx. +13 °C)
• Not suitable for heating pipes
• Do not insulate the thermostat with additional insulation
• Protect the area that the animals can nibble on with bite protection
• VDE-tested heating cable
• 230 volt
• IPX7

Do not mount in animal feed area unprotected - use only 24-volt heating cable. Do not shorten the heating cable!

The plug-in heating cable, suitable for gutters and pipes, meets the requirements of strength class M2 as per IEC60800:2009 to keep gutters and pipes safely above freezing. The high heating power of 20 watts per metre means the heating cable keeps gutters, downspouts and piping frost-free even at very low temperatures. The integrated temperature switch reliably switches the heating cable on at a temperature of +3 °C and off again at +12 °C.

Note:

• Please note that each heating cable connection must be fused via a separate residual current circuit breaker (E.g. item no. 296099, plug-in PRCD switch).
• The heating cable must be protected against sharp edges, e.g. where the guttering meets the downpipe, using edge protection (item no. 296098).
• The heating cable must not overlap, cross over or be in contact with itself or another heating cable at any point. To permanently prevent contact, we recommend the use of suitable spacers if necessary (item no. 296097).
• For safety reasons, pipes and metal guttering, protective tubes and sheathing must be earthed before installation.
