About this item
Spiral wound heating element-packs more heating element into each inch of cord.
- Heat to 850 °F (454 °C)
- Only 3/16" diameter-ideal for heating in tight spaces
Rugged, small-diameter cords heat small vessels or tubes where space is too limited for heating tapes. Heatglass, ceramic, or metal. Cords are suitable for laboratory, production, or maintenance applications.
A tough, woven fiberglass outer sheath protects you from electrical hazards. NiChrome wire, spiral-wound around the core, packs more heating element into the cord. Cords feature low power consumption: the 3-,6-, and 12-ft 120 VAC cords (heating 1/4"", 1/2"", and 1"" glass tubing respectively) draw about 0.1 watt/inch at full voltage/high temperature.
Control heating cord temperature with our DIGI-SENSE® temperature controller model 89800-01 (sold below right) or vary the output of 240 VAC models with variable-voltage transformers 01575-05 or -15). Heating cords are supplied with two cord ties and 10"" leads.
