Sprinkler line frost protection cable is a self-regulating heating cable that stops the water inside fire-fighting pipes from freezing. Its difference from an ordinary water line is this: a sprinkler line is not used at all for 364 days of the year, but on the day it is needed it absolutely must work. A frozen line delivers no water in a fire — and this is the fault that is noticed latest of all. This product holds the line continuously at +4 °C with HMax self-regulating cable; the control panel and the pipe temperature sensor are included in the package.
In wet-type sprinkler systems the pipes are permanently full of water. When the water falls below 0 °C it freezes, expands as it freezes and cracks the pipe from the inside. The crack is not noticed at first — when the line thaws the water floods out, or, worse still, in a fire the system cannot deliver the expected flow.
The conductive polymer core of HMax changes its resistance with temperature: it gives more power at a cold point and less at a point that has warmed up. If one section is in the sun and another runs along an outside wall, the cable balances this itself.
Because the cable throttles its output where it crosses itself, it does not overheat. In the sections of a sprinkler line dense with valves, flanges and elbows, this feature makes installation both faster and safer.
