Application Examples
Application: Pipe heating
(type HK-xxx-F)
Pipe heating systems can be installed on practically any pipe in order to protect them against frost or
to maintain the required temperature of hot water pipes (e.g. provision of drinking water for animals
outdoors and in stables).
The completely pre-assembled and directly applicable heating cable contains a thermostat which
ensures the energy-saving control of the heating cable. The thermostat automatically turns on (at app.
+5º C) so that freeze-up can be excluded.
Installation notes:
First, place the thermostat with the flat side at the coldest point on the bottom of the pipe and attach it
with self-adhesive aluminium foil making sure that it has the largest possible contact area with the
pipe.
Depending on the required heating performance, the heating cable is installed below the pipe.
Alternatively, the heating cable can be wound around the pipe (minimum distance between loops 10
cm). Make sure that the entire heating cable is attached to the pipe. Shortening the heating cable is
not permitted.
The heating cable is glued to the pipe with self-adhesive aluminium foil at regular intervals to ensure a
continuous contact of heating cable and pipe and to eliminate the possibility of the heating cable being
pushed into the pipe insulation material.

For plastic pipes, the pipe should subsequently be wrapped with self-adhesive aluminium foil in order
to achieve a better heat transfer.
to achieve a better heat transfer.
Before attaching the pipe insulation material, a visual inspection for damages should be conducted.
The pipe insulation must then be fixed with commercially available insulation material (min. R-value
0.035 W/mK). This is absolutely necessary in order to achieve the required frost protection and
reduces power consumption.

Finally, the heating cable must be connected to a power outlet (230 V) protected with max. 6 A.
Identification labels should be attached to the pipe insulation material at regular intervals (4 m)
indicating that the pipe is heated. Operation of the heating cable in conjunction with a residual current
circuit breaker is recommended.

Application: Seeding and nursing of plants
Electric heating cables provide an effective germination aid and accelerate growth by heating the soil,
especially in cold frames.
The heating cable is laid out on the ground in meanders according to the given conditions. Spacers
can be used to maintain the desired distances. Installation in a screed layer is sensible.

The embedding depth of the heating cable primarily depends on the plant structure. The plants’ roots
should not come into contact with the heating cable.

To prevent damage to the heating cable by gardening tools, a steel reinforcing matt can be placed
over the heating cable. Additionally, a notice warning that the beds are heated can be attached.
