Use it for garden taps, outdoor plumbing, roof gutters, or industrial piping systems where freezing temperatures pose a risk. This cable is an essential tool for homeowners, plumbers, and facility managers looking to avoid the inconvenience and expense of frozen pipes during cold spells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is simple and user-friendly. Wrap the 5m heating cable along the length of the metal pipe, securing it with the supplied fitting accessories or optional aluminium adhesive tape (available separately). Ensure the thermostat sensor (domed part) is in direct contact with the pipe for accurate temperature detection. Plug into a standard 230V outlet, and the system will handle the rest. Note: Never cut the cable to shorten it, as this will void the warranty and compromise safety. For optimal freeze protection down to -25°C, apply the recommended insulation thickness based on pipe diameter (e.g., 9mm for pipes up to 24mm diameter).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e STOPGEL\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 W (±10%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower per Metre:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 W\/m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230 V – 50 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double insulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection Class:\u003c\/strong\u003e II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e -30°C to +80°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Section:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat 5 x 7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1m cold tail with plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermostat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated at cable end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fitting kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e VERITAS certificate N° 1563016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnhance your pipe insulation setup with this dependable 5m antifreeze heating cable, available now at PipeLagging.com.
