Self Regulating Heating Tape - Type FBT Description
Type FBT heating tape is designed to be cut from reel lengths and site terminated to suit pipework.
The heating tape has a core comprising two bus-wire conductors contained within an extruded semi-conductive self limiting heater core with an outer insulating polyolefin sheath.
Type FBT heating tape adjusts heat output to equal the heat loss from the pipe work. As pipe temperature falls under no-flow conditions or due to decreases in external or internal temperature, FBT increases output. As the pipe temperature increases under flow conditions or as a result of increasing external or internal temperature so output from FBT decreases.
Suitable for internal and external Freeze protection and temperature maintenance, oil and chemical lines, sprinkler system mains and supply piping (as listed in Clause 1 BS EN 62395-1:2006).
You will require a Termination Kit to terminate/seal the front and back end of the heating tape.
Thermostatic control is recommended with all trace heating installations.
