Pipe Freeze Protection Cable is a simple solution to prevent frozen pipes in domestic and small commercial buildings. Composed of a pre-terminated fixed resistance heating cable fitted with a pipe thermostat this is a really simple, low-cost solution. Typical uses include: boiler condensate pipes, external water and waste pipes, water pipes in unheated areas like lofts, garages, outbuildings, etc.

The integrated thermostat monitors pipe temperature and switches the system on when there is a risk of freezing. Once a safe pipe temperature has been reached the cable is switched off to save energy.

Available in a range of 9 sizes, the product is fitted with a 1.5m cold lead and a 3-pin plug for easy connection to the power supply.

• Protects hot and cold water pipework that may be subject to freezing conditions.
• Simple, low-cost solution for the prevention of burst pipes.
• Suitable for both metal and plastic pipes up to 50mm diameter.
• Ready-made unit with fitted 1.5m cold lead and 3-pin plug for simple installation.
• Integrated thermostat switches the system on when temperature falls below +3C.

Installation
The cable can simply be installed in a straight line along pipes up to 50mm in diameter. PFP fixing tape is required to secure the cable to the pipe and ALU50 aluminium heat dispersion tape for installation onto plastic pipework. Both products can be purchased from the accessories’ menu. Once the cable has been installed the entire installation should be covered with a layer of 20mm (max) thick flame retardant insulation.
