Description:
The UCI drainline heating cable is engineered for efficient defrosting and thawing of drain-lines in refrigeration systems and cold rooms. Designed for the commercial refrigeration and air conditioning sectors, these cables provide reliable freeze protection with a single-wire electrical resistance configuration.

Constructed from Nickel/Chromium or Copper/Nickel resistive wire wound on a fibreglass filament, the heating element is encased in a unique silicone compound for superior insulation and durability. This design guarantees a high dielectric seal, making the cables completely waterproof, highly flexible, and capable of operating across extreme temperature ranges from -60C to +200C.

Key Features:

• Voltage Range: 1.5V 400V

• Power Output: 5W/m 80W/m

• External Diameter: 5.5mm 0.2mm (excluding vulcanized joint)

• Insulation: High-grade silicone for waterproof protection

• Minimum Bending Radius: 15mm

• Operating Temperatures: -60C to +200C

• Certifications: CE, EN60335 compliant, meets 2014/35/EU directive
