Product Notes

Construction
Lo-Cost heaters are manufactured at a standard 35 watts per square inch at 240v, but other loadings can be supplied on request. The elements are machine wound with digital ohmage monitoring to produce accurate, evenly wound formers with 345 degrees of circumferential heat. Each element is then tool formed to ensure a smooth contact face with excellent heat transfer properties. Low profile 7mm (1/4") roller bolts fitted in the continuously formed band ensures even clamping for good surface contact.
The standard lead length is 24 inches (61cm) can be supplied braided or unbraided to your specifications. Longer leads can also be supplied at an additional cost.
