Heating cable for pipes with thermostat, various lengths, Kerbl

The Kerbl heating cable for pipes with thermostat is an electric heating wire designed to protect water pipes and water installations from freezing. It is suitable wherever pipes are exposed to low temperatures and automatic heating of different length sections is required.

Main information

• Product family: various cable lengths
• Power supply: 230 V
• Thermostat: built-in frost protection switch
• Thermostat operating range: switches on approx. +3°C, switches off approx. +13°C
• Frost resistance: up to max. -45°C
• Protection class: IPX7
• Connection cable: 2 m

Application

This product is intended for the protection of water-bearing pipes in areas where the installation may be exposed to severe frost. It can be selected to fit a section of appropriate length, making it easier to match the specific installation. The cable is used in anti-freezing solutions for water and plumbing pipes. It is not intended for heating pipes or places exposed to mechanical loads. In installations where there is a risk of contact with animals, appropriate protection for the cable section should be provided.

Principle of operation

The cable is connected to a 230 V power supply, and the built-in thermostat controls operation depending on the ambient temperature. When the temperature drops to around +3°C, the system starts heating, and when it rises to around +13°C, it switches off. This way, the wire heats the pipe only when necessary. The solution helps maintain water flow during frosty periods and reduces the risk of the installation freezing. The cable should not be shortened.

In practice

The main advantage of this product family is the ability to match the length to the specific pipe section, without having to choose a universal solution for all applications. The built-in thermostat simplifies operation as the cable works automatically in response to ambient temperature. This is especially important in farm buildings, water installations, and places where a temperature drop can quickly lead to water freezing. The IPX7 protection class and 230 V power supply make it a practical element for continuous frost protection of installations. In everyday use, the 2 m connection cable also matters, making it easier to connect to a power source.
