1.0 PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
WarmlyYours Heating Cable is designed for new concrete slab oors. It is well suited
for large areas like basements, garages and additions.
The Heating Cable is comprised of a dual, multistrand heating element with a primary
insulation of Fluoropolymer. The insulated core is then protected with a woven metal
braid and an outer jacket of PVC, EPR or Zero Halogen Polyolen based compound
to make it sturdier and to provide corrosion protection. These cables are terminated
with 20’ (6.1m) long standard cold leads. The hot and cold junction is uniquely
designed to make it durable and exible.
Available in a wide range of lengths and sizes to suit your requirements, the Slab
Heating Mats and Heating Cables are identied as indicated below.
Item Number: AAAA-BBB-CCCC
Ex: Item Number: WSHM-240-0250
(product type) (voltage) (width & length = 2’x50’)
• AAAA = WSHM for Slab Heating Mat, WSHC for Slab Heating Cable
• BBB = Operating Voltage available in 120V and 240V
• CCCC = Mat width in ft. (rst two digits) and Mat length in ft. (third and fourth
digits) for Slab Heating Mat, Cable length in ft. for Slab Heat Cable
