TubeTrace, with “cut-to-length” VSX self-regulating heat tracing, is designed to provide freeze protection or temperature maintenance from 40°F (5°C) to 300°F (149°C) for tubing where high temperature exposure capability is possible. VSX withstands intermittent temperature exposures of 450°F (232°C). Self-regulating VSX heat tracing:

• Varies in response to the surrounding conditions along the entire length of a circuit.

• Lower risk of overheating the tube or product.

• Installed cost is lower because “cut-to-length” VSX makes end connections easy with minimal waste.

• VSX is approved for use in ordinary (non-classified) areas and hazardous (classified) areas.
