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 insulati...
Pipe tracing accessories complete heat trace installations. Tape, labels, connection kits and end seals keep cable secure and safe, and make it easy to identify.
Accessories Available
- Attachment tape – glass and aluminum tape
- Connection and splice kits – join and power cables
- End seals – terminate safely
- Caution labels – mark traced lines

Pipe tracing cable keeps pipes from freezing and holds process fluids at the right temperature. It's used on water lines, fire sprinkler piping, fuel oil, chemical lines and anything that must flow even in cold weather.
Cable Types
- Self-regulating cable – output adjusts automatically to pipe temperature and can be cut to length
- Constant wattage cable – steady output for long runs and higher temperatures
- Mineral insulated cable – extreme temperature and hazardous area service
- Pre-terminated kits – ready-to-install for short pipe runs
Planning a System
Heat trace design depends on pipe size and material, insulation thickness, minimum ambient temperature and the temperature you need to maintain. Use proper connection kits, end seals and a thermostat or controller, and install ground-fault protection as required by code. Insulation is essential for performance.
