Chromalox CZH Constant Wattage Zone Heater

Chromalox CZH Cable is a multi-purpose heating cable designed for commercial pipe tracing, embedded floor warming, and frost heave prevention. Chromalox’s CZH Cable is constructed of a parallel heating core that produces uniform thermal output over its entire length. It can be easily cut to length, spliced, tee to more easily follow piping networks. Chromalox’s CZH Heating Cable can be placed in conduit embedded in concrete to prevent frost heave or placed onto concrete slabs for supplemental comfort heat. Chromalox’s CZH cable can even be placed inside of conduit for applications making replacement of the heating cable possible. Chromalox’s CZH is truly a versatile heating cable solution.

Construction

A. Twin 12 AWG Copper Buss Wires — Provide reliable, consistent electrical current.

B. FEP Insulation Jacket — Electrically insulates buss wires.

C. Pairing Jacket — Secures two buss wires together and provides wrapping surface for Nichrome wire.

D. Nickel Chromium Wire — Heating component of the cable.

E. FEP Insulation — Rugged outer sheath protects heating cable, assures longer service life, and provides protection against environmental application hazards.

F. Tinned Copper Braid — Plated copper braid increases robust construction, provides ground path and provides additional protection in any location. Suffix “C” in model number.

G. FEP Overjacket — Fluoropolymer overjacket, over the braid, provides protection from most aqueous and chemically corrosive solutions. Suffix“T” in model number

WARNING — A ground fault protection device is required by NEC to minimize the danger of fire if the heating cable is damaged or improperly installed. A minimum trip level of 30mA is recommended to minimize nuisance tripping.
