The Zamel GPRU-20,5/18 heating cable is a professional solution engineered to provide effective frost protection for water pipes in residential and industrial environments. With a total length of 20.5 meters and a power output of 18W/m, this system ensures that plumbing remains functional even during severe winter conditions. The cable features an integrated thermostat that monitors ambient temperature, automatically activating the heating process when the temperature drops to a critical level to prevent freezing and subsequent pipe damage.

Advantages

This heating cable offers a highly efficient and automated approach to pipe maintenance during cold weather. By utilizing an integrated thermostat, the system operates only when necessary, which optimizes energy consumption while maintaining reliable protection. The robust construction of the cable ensures durability and safety, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations where pipes are exposed to freezing temperatures. Its straightforward design allows for quick and effective installation, providing peace of mind by preventing costly repairs associated with burst pipes.

Suitable for

• Frost protection for residential water supply pipes
• Preventing freezing in industrial plumbing systems
• Outdoor pipe installations exposed to low temperatures
• Protection of water pipes in unheated 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 designed for water systems. It should not be installed on pipes that exceed the temperature resistance limits of the cable insulation.

Key specifications

• Total length: 20.5 meters
• Power output: 18W/m
• Integrated thermostat: Yes
• Application: Pipe frost protection

How to use

To install the Zamel heating cable, ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry. Attach the cable along the length of the pipe, securing it firmly with heat-resistant adhesive tape at regular intervals. Ensure the thermostat sensor is placed in direct contact with the pipe surface in the coldest section to accurately monitor temperature. Once secured, connect the cable to a standard power supply. The thermostat will automatically manage the heating cycle based on the detected temperature.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the total length of the pipe section requiring protection
• Ensure access to a power outlet near the installation site
• Verify that the pipe material is compatible with electric heating cables

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the cable is not crossed or overlapping itself during installation to prevent localized overheating. Regularly inspect the cable and thermostat before the start of the winter season to ensure proper functionality.
