Raychem WinterGard self-regulating heating cables provide

convenient, reliable freeze protection for a wide variety of pro-

fessionally 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.

Complete design guidelines, installation instructions, and safety

information are provided in the Commercial and Residential

Self-Regulating Heating Products Application and Design Guide

(H53585), the H900 Power Connection Kit, the H908 Plug-in

Power Connection Kit, and the H921 120-V ground-fault protect-

ed junction box.

For detailed information on roof and gutter de-icing applica-

tions, please refer to the WinterGard Wet Design, Installation

and Maintenance Guide (H56804).

Pipe Applications

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.

• In wet areas, use only WinterGard Wet.

• To minimize the danger of fire from sustained elec-

trical 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.

WinterGard Selection Guide Selection Tables Use one of the tables below to help select the correct WinterGard heating cable for your application. (Consult the Commercial and Residential Application and Design Guide or H900/H908 Installation Instructions for complete system design information.) Read across the table to find your pipe diameter, then drop down to the line corresponding to the lowest air temperature for that application and the correct insulation thickness.
