Heat Tracing for Pipe and Roof Heating Applications

Self-regulating Heat Trace Cable

Preventing pipes from freezing during winter is essential for residential, commercial, and industrial consumers alike. Installing a pipe tracing system is the most effective means of combating property damage caused by frozen, damaged pipes. Warmzone^® pipe tracing systems ensure process stability and prevent freezing by maintaining a minimum temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit, or according to the customer’s specifications.

Pipe tracing systems utilize self-regulating heat cable to ensure safe, energy-efficient pipe freeze protection or process temperature control for industrial applications. The self-regulating cable features an irradiated conductive core that increases the heat output as the outside temperature falls and decreases the heat output as the temperature rises. This unique construction ensures that the heat trace cable durable, safe, and extremely energy efficient. Self-regulating heat trace cable can be installed in commercial, residential, and industrial applications with both metal and plastic piping. Residential heat tracing systems can also be used for gas and water lines, as well as for roof de-icing and gutter heating applications.

A ruptured water line can result in costly damages, not to mention put you out of your home until the repairs are completed; however, heat tracing is a simple and inexpensive investment that can prolong the life of your home’s pipes. Heat trace is also commonly installed in roof gutters and along roof edges and valleys to prevent ice dams. This helps to ensure that you won't be a victim of water damage as a result of ice dams.

Large commercial and industrial buildings are especially susceptible to the damaging effects of cold temperatures on piping. Often, some areas of industrial facilities are unheated throughout the winter months, raising the chances of broken pipes, which can dramatically impact productivity and revenue. Heat tracing is the most reliable and affordable pipe freeze protection method available on the market today.

The hospitality industry relies on properly functioning, well-maintained piping. A break in a pipe can result in lost customers and long term damage to the company's public image. Warmzone's energy efficient pipe tracing systems provide reliable pipe freeze protection, process temperature maintenance and other heat trace solutions so your business can keep its livelihood intact.
