CORGI -StopFrost Heating Cable System- STPF020

Product Description

CORGI StopFrost provides a simple‐to‐install solution for internal and external pipes of metallic or non‐metallic construction that require protection from freezing conditions. StopFrost heating cables come as an integrated unit with a built‐in thermal sensor and can be installed onto all pipe materials including copper, steel and plastic. The cables have an output of 14W per metre; the integrated temperature sensor will automatically detect changes in the ambient temperature and start to warm up when required, ensuring the pipe remains ice free whilst using a low amount of electricity. StopFrost is not suitable for pipes containing combustible liquids. You should always insulate your pipe after installing StopFrost. 

Simply place the sensor on the underside of the pipe that requires protection, secure using either cable ties (loosely tightened) or aluminium tape. In addition to the heating cable, the thermal sensor should be attached to the pipe with the round sensor section abutting the pipe itself. The heating cable can then be fixed to the underside of the pipe and returned along the top or spiralled around the full length of the pipe that requires protection. For non‐metallic pipes the pipe should be wrapped in aluminium tape.
