Pipe Tracing
Pipe tracing systems keep water, chemical and process lines from freezing and hold fluids at temperature so they flow reliably. A complete system includes heating cable, connection components, controls and insulation.
System Components
- Pipe tracing cable – self-regulating, constant wattage and MI cables
- Pipe tracing accessories – connection kits, end seals, tape and labels
- Thermostats and controllers – manage energy use and alarms
- Ground-fault protection – required for safety and code compliance
Design Basics
Heat loss depends on pipe size, insulation type and thickness, minimum ambient temperature and maintain temperature. That heat loss determines cable output and length. Valves, flanges and supports need extra cable. Controllers save energy by heating only when needed.
Centro supplies pipe tracing products and can help you select the right cable and controls for freeze protection and process temperature maintenance.

The Nelson HASKS heat trace splice kit is the inline splice variant of the HASK Series connection kits, approved for use in Class I, Division 1 hazardous locations when used with Nelson LT, HLT, and XLT Series field-fabricated heating cables. It is purpose-built for joining two heat trace cables in a straight, in-line splice configuration — whether you're extending a cable run, bridging across removable equipment, or connecting cables of different wattages within the same circuit.
The kit includes an approved explosion-proof junction box, seal fittings with reducers, sealing compound and packing fiber, cable entry seals with grommets, power terminations with adhesive sealant, and a 3-point floating terminal block. The HASK Series carries Factory Mutual and Canadian Standards Association approval for C1D1 installations, making it a code-compliant solution for refineries, chemical plants, petrochemical facilities, and other hazardous process environments where flammable gases or vapors may be present under normal operating conditions.
Hazardous area classifications covered include Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C and D; Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F and G; Class III; and Class I, Zone 1, IIB.

FAQS
- Heat cable, also known as heat trace cable, is an electric heating cable designed to maintain or raise the temperature of pipes, tanks, roofs, or equipment. It works by generating heat when electrical current flows through the cable, preventing freezing or maintaining process temperatures.
- While some self regulating cables can operate without a thermostat, using a temperature controller or thermostat improves energy efficiency, extends cable life, and ensures consistent temperature control.
- To select the right heat cable, consider pipe size and material, minimum ambient temperature, required maintenance temperature, power availability, environmental exposure, and whether the area is hazardous or non hazardous.
- Yes. Heat cable can be installed on both plastic and metal pipes, but the cable type and maximum exposure temperature must be compatible with the pipe material.
