Improve Heat Trace Performance, Cost and Risk with Purpose-Built Cable Ties

摘要

Panduit developed the Heat Trace Wave-Ty™ line of stainless steel cable ties specifically for heat-trace installation. Available for various pipe sizes, the cable ties have a wide and flat profile with rounded edges that spreads the force across a wide surface, which is less likely to damage the heat trace and eliminates the chance of puncture and cutting hazards associated with tie wires and banding. Also, the unique wave design provides space for the heat-trace cabling to move relative to the pipe or structure's thermal extraction. The accompanying cable-tie tool helps ensure uniform tension to keep the heat-trace cabling against the intended surface, minimizing the chance that the heat-trace cabling is bound too tightly, which can lead to early failures and expensive repairs, or not bound tightly enough, which can result in poor heat transfer.
