Electrical freeze protection for long
pipelines in both nonhazardous and
hazardous (classified) locations
The LBTV self-regulating heating cables pro-
vide freeze protection and low-temperature
maintenance for longline applications. The
LBTV heating cables maintain process
temperatures up to 150°F (65°C) and can
withstand intermittent exposure to tempera-
tures up to 185°F (85°C).
The cables are configured for use in nonhaz-
ardous and hazardous (classified) locations,
including areas where corrosives may be
present.
The LBTV heating cables provide long circuit
length capability. They can be used for con-
tinuous circuit lengths up to 1125 feet
powered from a single source. LBTV cables
are especially well suited for tracing long
pipelines containing temperature-sensitive
fluids or where high reliability is required.
Raychem® LBTV cables meet the require-
ments of the U.S. National Electrical Code
and the Canadian Electrical Code. For addi-
tional information, contact your Tyco
Thermal Controls representative or call Tyco
