Constant power cable specially designed for use in gutters rated at 30W/m -230V sold per metre
The FTC is a constant power cable designed to protect drainpipes and gutters against freezing.
It also guards against the consequences of two phenomena that occur in winter:
- Gutters obstructed by snowfalls: when snow on the roof melts, water cannot drain away properly and may infiltrate the facades of the building.
- Icicles hanging from gutters can be dangerous when they fall off. Placed in the bottom of gutters and in drainpipes, the
cable maintains a drainage channel for the water and prevents ice from forming. To ensure that these heating elements enjoy a long
service life, we recommend using a control device
Does not need to be fixed direct to gutter, Protected against UV rays, Can be cut to length, Easy connection as cold tail incorporated.
The usual needs for the frost protection of gutters are:
1.Heating cable + termination kits
2.Regulation
3.Fitting accessories
30W/m, 230V Constant power cable with tinned copper braid and UV resistant outer sheath for mechanical protection and earthing. Hard-wearing and flexible.
• Can be cut to length on site.
• Extremely simple termination.
• Cold tail incorporated: no extra connection necessary
• Available as 30 W/m.
• Power supply: 230 V.
• Copper braid and PVC outer sheath to protect against UV rays.
Installation
There are two ways of fitting the cable in the gutter or drainpipe:
- Thoroughly degrease and dry the support and lay the cable, covering it completely with FTAL aluminium adhesive tape.
- Glue the cable into the bottom of the gutter every meter or so using SILT 100 silicon adhesive.
In drainpipes, hold the cable in place with an FX/CRT hook. Controlling the installation with an FX/CDM1 A hygrothermostat
will lead to significant energy savings.
