Thermon FLX: Heat tracing cables

Note: Dimensions relate to the outer jacket option on the cable. Subtract 1 mm for braided only cables

Application: Freeze protection

FLX self regulating heating cables are designed to provide freeze protection for a variety of refrigeration and freezer applications.

These cut to length heater cables are available in power outputs of 16, 33 and 49 watts per meter.

Operating voltage is 240 VAC.

The narrow profile of FLX cables provide the flexibility required for freezer door applications.

Rugged and reliable

FLX self-regulating cables are protected by a tinned copper braid to provide grounding and additional mechanical protection for the cable. An optional outer jacket is available if additional mechanical protection is required.

Heat tracing users expect quality products and services from a reputable manufacturer. Thermon exceeds these expectations by operating under the ISO 9001 standard for quality.

Easy to design

FLX are self regulating, polyolefin insulated cables which vary output in relation to temperature. FLX cables are used primarily for freeze protection of freezer door frames, condensate drains and general freeze protection. FLX’s electrical configuration lends itself to field fabrication of each heat tracing circuit. Field dimensions of the erected piping are not required.

Easy to install

Kits for power connection, end termination and splicing are designed for quick and easy installation.

Bus wire: Nickel-plated copper
Metallic braid: tinned copper
Outer jacket: -OJ, polyolefin (optional)
Minimum bend radius @ -15°C: 10 mm
Supply voltage: 240 Vac
Circuit protection: 30 mA ground-fault protection required
Maximum continuous exposure temperature: Power-on 65°C; Power-off 85°C
