ATE-180 Aluminium tape
Use only if the design requires it.
ATE-180 improves the heat transfer and increases the power
output of the heating cable.
Attach the heating cable to the pipe as shown in Figure 2.
3.4.2. Spiral tracing
• Alternative spiralling methods are shown in
Figures 2a and 2b.
• Only spiral heating cable on pipe when called for by design.
• To prevent overheating, be sure the location of the power
limiting heating cable is planned so that the active heating
zonewillnotextendintothecomponent. Readthekit
installation instructions and plan the component location
before permanently attaching the cable to the pipe. Ensure
that the active heating zones are located where heat is
required i.e. on the pipe.
