Zamel GPRU-10/18 Heating Cable for Pipes 18W/m with Thermostat 10m

The Zamel GPRU-10/18 heating cable is a professional solution designed to protect water pipes from freezing during cold weather. With a total length of 10 meters and a power output of 18W/m, this cable provides consistent thermal protection for plumbing systems. It features an integrated thermostat that automatically monitors the temperature, activating the heating process when it drops to a critical level and turning it off once the pipe is sufficiently warmed, which ensures energy efficiency and reliable operation.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this heating cable is its fully automated operation, which eliminates the need for manual monitoring or external control systems. The integrated thermostat is calibrated to respond precisely to temperature changes, providing peace of mind during harsh winter conditions. The cable is constructed with durable materials suitable for both residential and industrial environments, ensuring long-term performance and resistance to environmental factors. Its design allows for straightforward installation directly onto pipes, providing an effective barrier against ice formation and potential pipe bursts.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply pipes
• Industrial plumbing systems
• Outdoor water installations
• Pipes located in unheated areas such as basements or garages

When it may not be suitable

This heating cable is not intended for use on pipes containing flammable liquids or gases, as it is specifically engineered for water plumbing systems. It should not be installed on pipes that exceed the temperature ratings of the cable insulation or in environments where the cable could be exposed to direct mechanical damage or sharp edges without proper protection.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 meters
• Power output: 18W/m
• Integrated thermostat: Yes
• Application: Frost protection for pipes
• Power supply: Standard electrical grid

How to use

To install the Zamel GPRU-10/18, ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry. Secure the heating cable along the length of the pipe using appropriate adhesive tape or cable ties, ensuring the thermostat is placed in contact with the pipe surface to accurately measure temperature. Once positioned, connect the cable to a standard power outlet. The system will function autonomously, activating only when necessary to maintain the pipe temperature above freezing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the length of the pipe section requiring protection
• Ensure access to a power source near the installation site
• Check that the pipe material is compatible with electric heating cables
• Confirm the pipe is not exposed to extreme chemical environments

Usage recommendations

For optimal efficiency, it is recommended to insulate the pipe with thermal lagging after installing the heating cable. This helps retain heat and reduces energy consumption during operation.
