Features of Easy Heat ILH4160 In-Line Heater

The EasyHeat ILH (In-Line Heater) provides an economical and effective in-pipe freeze protection for water supply lines. It is designed to prevent freezing of water supply in cottages, homes and barns that use a lake, reservoir or spring for their potable water. The system can be used in insulated pipes and will not melt through the pipe if dryout occurs.

• Designed for use in 1.25 in (3.18 cm) polyethylene water pipes.
• Includes a 12 Amp energy saving thermostat (SL2G) complete with ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle.
• Protected by GFCI with test/reset and pilot light to ensure safe operation.
• Dual conductor resistance wire with PVC insulation, continuous ground braid, and clear food-grade outer PVC jacket.
• Rated to withstand water pressure up to 60 PSIG.
• Available in lengths from 10 ft – 270 ft (3.05 m – 82.30 m).
• User friendly plug-in 120 Vac operation (5 W/ft).
• One year limited warranty.

Application Notes:

• Do not attempt to pull the cable by the end connector; this connector prevents the infiltration of water into the cable, and excessive force could damage this seal.
• The heating cable cannot be altered in length.
• Never plug in the heating cable while it is coiled. If the heating cable touches itself while plugged in this would cause the outer PVC jacket to melt.
• Do not install heating cable in pipes that are heated to above +155degF (+66degC).
• The cable has been pre-assembled and sealed to the T-coupling; do not alter the T-coupling connection.
• The heating cable must be installed straight inside the pipe and must not touch, cross, or overlap itself at any point inside the water pipe.
• Insulation of the piping is best accomplished by the use of a maximum of 1/2 in (12.7 mm) thick polyethylene foam (PEF) insulation. If uninsulated, the water supply pipe should be buried in at least 3 in (7.62 cm) of topsoil or sand.
