Freezstop Extra & Extra Wide (FSE & FSEw)

Freezstop Extra & Extra Wide are industrial grade self-regulating heating tapes that can be used for freeze protection or temperature maintenance of pipework and vessels. They can be cut-to-length on site to match exact piping lengths without any complicated design considerations.

Freezstop Extra & Extra Wide are approved for use in non-hazardous, and hazardous areas to worldwide standards. Their self-regulating characteristics improve safety and reliability.

Freezstop Extra & Extra Wide will not overheat or burnout, even when overlapped upon itself. Its power output self-regulates in response to the pipe temperature.
