Selection Guide (for PiPe freeze Protection APPlicAtionS)

Raychem WinterGard self-regulating heating cables provide
convenient, reliable freeze protection for a wide variety of pro­fessionally installed residential and commercial water-pipe and
roof-and-gutter de-icing applications in nonhazardous areas.
This data sheet is designed to assist in cable and accessory
selection and basic circuit design of pipe-freeze-prevention
applications.

WARNING:

WinterGard systems must be installed correctly to
ensure proper operation and to prevent shock or
fire. Carefully read and follow the Commercial and
Residential Self-Regulating Heating Products
Application and Design Guide and the H900 series
connection kit installation instructions.

• Use only in ordinary (nonhazardous) areas. Do not

expose to any chemicals, oil or grease.

1, 3 1, 3 1, 3 1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3

• In wet areas, use only WinterGard Wet.

• To minimize the danger of fire from sustained elec­trical arcing if the heating cable is damaged or
improperly installed, and to comply with the
requirements of Pentair Thermal Management,
agency approvals, and national electrical codes,
ground-fault equipment protection must be used
on each heating cable branch circuit. Arcing may
not be stopped by conventional circuit protection.

• This selection guide does not take the place of the
installation instructions included in the
Commercial and Residential Self-Regulating
Heating Products Application and Design Guide and
in the H900 series accessory kits.

• System approvals and performance are based on
the use of only H900 series accessories with
WinterGard heating cables. These accessories
must be used. Do not substitute parts.
