Functionality
The heating cable consists of two electric cables surrounded by a polymer (insulating plastic) with graphite particles:
- Cold: The polymer contracts, the graphite particles come into contact and the heating tape becomes warm.
- Warm: The polymer expands, no contact between the graphite particles, the heating tape does not heat up.
Product note

Practical tip
Protect yourWater and heating pipes against browsing! For this we recommend ourPipe protection models 380108 and 380119.
If heating cables are used, the water pipes should be suitable for hot water. For plastic pipes, ourAluminium adhesive tape (Ref. 351181) for optimum heat distribution. This should be applied to the plastic pipe before laying the heating cable.
