Pyrotenax copper mineral insulated electric heat trace cables

are designed for a wide range of commercial applications, including pipe freeze protection, process temperature maintenance, roof and gutter de-icing, snow melting, freezer frost heave prevention and floor warming. The copper sheath allows for a rugged yet flexible heat trace cable that is easy to install. Also, the low resistance of the copper provides an ideal ground path. For applications that require additional protection, such as concrete or asphalt snow melting, the copper MI heating cable is coated with a high density polyethylene jacket. Additional information on Pyrotenax copper MI heat trace cables: MI cables are ideal for use in Commercial & Housing related environments.

Pentair Thermal Management' Mineral Insulated Technology is used where high power output, high exposure temperatures, or extreme resistance to environmental corrosives are needed. Pyrotenax MI heating cables can provide up to 82 watts per foot (269 watts per meter) of power output with area classification and design approvals. Pyrotenax Wiring cables can operate continuously at 250°C and withstand the UL 2196 fire test with ease.

Mineral insulated heating cables are constructed and approved for use in nonhazardous and hazardous (classified) areas. The maximum application temperature for heating units is 1022°F (550°C) and the maximum exposure temperature for the heating cable is 1238°F (670°C). Higher temperatures are available by special order.

Various constructions of the MI bulk heating cables are available:

• HCC/HCH: Copper sheathed MI heating cables
• HDF/HDC: Cupro-nickel sheathed MI heating cables
• HSQ: Stainless steel sheathed MI heating cables
• HAx: Alloy 825 sheathed MI heating cables
• HIQ: Inconel sheathed MI heating cables
