OMEGALUX™ CWM (Constant Wattage Medium Temperature) heating cable is the ideal answer to those pipe tracing situations which require higher temperatures for process maintenance as well as freeze protection. No matter what length of cable is needed, wattage (or heat) produced by each foot of cable remains unchanged.
Caution and Warning!
Fire and electrical shock may result if products are used improperly or installed or used by non-qualified personnel. See inside back cover for additional warnings.

Standard Construction
A. Buss wires. Twin 12 AWG copper buss wires provide reliable, consistent electrical current.
B. Buss wire insulation. 11 mil FEP jacket protects and electrically insulates buss wires.
C. Inner sheath. This insulation jacket holds the two buss wires together and provides the wrapping surface for the nichrome heating wire.
D. Nichrome wire. The nichrome resistance heating wire is the heating component of the cable.
E. Jacket. Flame-retardant insulation jacket is made from FEP material which protects heating cable and assures long service life. This material is also highly corrosion resistant.
F. Metal braid. Plated copper braid covering the jacket provides a positive ground path.
G. Optional fluoropolymer overjacket. FEP jacket provides protection from most aqueous and chemically corrosive solutions. Add suffix “-CT” to model number.
Minimum length of heating cable is 25 ft. See Pages B-24 to B-28 for heat cable accessories and controls.
