Domestic Hot Water
Jackets:
modified polyolefin
Nelson's LT Domestic Hot Water heating cable is an energy-efficient and economical alternative to common recirculation systems. The heating cable is used to maintain water temperature in the supply piping system, reducing or eliminating the delay in obtaining hot water at each fixture. The cable system eliminates the need for return piping, pumps, check valves and pressure balancing valves found in recirculating systems.

Roof and Gutter Deicer (SLT)
Jackets:
polyolefin
Nelson's SLT heating cable provides a solution for ice dams that can build up and damage building roofs, gutters and downspouts. SLT ice melting heaters are designed for installation on roofs and gutters to melt a pathway for the drainage of water. The heater automatically reduces its power output as drainage tunnels are formed in the ice and snow.
