General Information

Rizer-Line systems provide internal (in-pipe) and external (on-pipe) freeze

protection in one system to automatic livestock water systems and other

similar applications. These are high performance products designed to work

in extreme cold and harsh environments.

It is recommended that the Rizer-Line installation be made by a qualified

tradesperson. This will ensure that optimum performance is achieved in each

installation.

A. This heating cable set shall be installed in accordance with the National

Electrical Code (USA), and or the Canadian Electrical Code.

B. It is imperative that for all installations where the pipes are exposed to the

outside ambient temperature that weatherproof insulation be used. (Wall

thickness ½ inch minimum). Heat-Line offers closed cell foam types, foil/

air bubble type and others. Other types of weather-proof insulations may

also be used.

C. Rizer-Line can be used even when there is no water in the pipe. Rizer-Line

WILL NOT melt your water pipe. In the event of power failure your system

may freeze. The system will however re-energize immediately following

power restoration and will thaw out again. In most cases no damage to

pipes will be encountered.

Rizer-Line is a technically advanced product. Handle it with proper care and

be sure not to damage the outer sheath or jacket of the cable.
