Inherently Temperature-Safe cables are cables that have no significant output at their withstand temperature. More

The maximum temperature a heating cable can be exposed to before it is damaged. Sometimes referred to as maximum exposure temperature or design temperature

The surface of the heating cable must not exceed the maximum temperature of the constructional materials or the Temperature Classification if installed in a hazardous area. This is ensured by limiting the pipe or workpiece temperature to a safe level either by design calculation or by means of temperatue control devices.

Constant Wattage cables do not regulate they have the same output irrespective of pipe or surface temperature

Termination Methods

Standard Termination	Click on the Image for more detail
Standard Termination involves the use of conventional plastic or metal cable glands.  These glands are specifically made for our heating cables. Cable Glands are normally supplied in termination kits.  The kits are available for safe and hazardous areas and contain all the parts required for connection to the power and to terminate the end of the cable. Kits also contain a caution label and cable identification tag.
StripFree Termination	Click on the Image for more detail
The StripFree universal connection system provides the installer with a fast and simple method or power, in-line and T-splice connection methods for self-regulating heating cables.  The StripFree unit may also be used for constant wattage heating cables.
DESTU Termination	Click on the Image for more detail
The DESTU system, for safe and hazardous areas, reduces the risk of damage to the heating cable as it emerges from the thermal insulation for connection into the junction box.  DESTU is available for power termination, in-line splice and tee splice terminations.
