Product Overview

Raychem HTV self-regulating heating cable is designed for freeze protection and process temperature maintenance of pipes and vessels operating at high temperatures. It supports continuous operating temperatures up to 205°C (400°F) and can withstand intermittent exposure temperatures up to 260°C (500°F), subject to the manufacturer's specified operating conditions.

The HTV heating cable features a high power retention (HPR) heating core combined with pressure-extruded electrical insulation. Its robust construction incorporates a nickel-copper metallic braid and a high-temperature fluoropolymer outer jacket, providing mechanical protection and resistance to a wide range of chemicals.

Designed for demanding industrial environments, Raychem HTV is suitable for heat tracing applications in both ordinary and hazardous locations when the applicable product approvals, system design requirements and installation instructions are followed.
