XtremeFLEX® heating tape is a new solution to traditional heat trace cable. They are the perfect solution for challenging applications. The RKP tapes have an ultra-thin profile with a super flexible 1/4" (6mm) bend radius and a low watt-density of 6 watts/foot (20 watts/meter) to provide safe operation and avoid overheating. The unique flexibility provides exceptional surface contact for maximum heat transfer and effectiveness around systems that have complex curves, bends, and contours. The heater is also pre-terminated with a power cord and electrical plug to provide a quick and easy power connection. The heating tapes need to maintain intimate contact with the object being heated. To do this, users should install the heating tape on the tubing in a spiral wrap fashion using high-temperature fiberglass adhesive tape to secure the heating tape to the tubing. Ensure temperature limits of the tubing so the heater isn't set at a temperature that exceeds what the tubing can handle.
