DocumentDocumentXL-Trace Edge Self-regulating heating cable for pipe freeze protection and flow maintenance PRODUCT OVERVIEW Heating cable construction Modified polyolefin (-CR) or fluoropolymer (-CT) outer jacket Tinned-copper braid Modified polyolefin inner jacket Self-regulating conductive core Nickel-plated copper bus wire nVent RAYCHEM XL-Trace Edge is designed for pipe freeze protection and flow maintenance in the following applications: · Freeze protection of general water piping (aboveground and buried) · Freeze protection of fire sprinkler system piping, including sprinklers · Flow maintenance of greasy waste lines (aboveground and buried) · Flow maintenance of fuel lines (aboveground) The heating element in the XL-Trace Edge heating cable consists of a continuous core of conductive polymer extruded between two copper bus wires. The XL-Trace Edge heating cable regulates its power output in response to pipe temperature changes. This self-regulating technology allows XL-Trace Edge heating cable to be overlapped or installed on plastic pipes without overheating. Low total installed cost The XL-Trace Edge heating cable's parallel circuitry allows it to be cut to the exact length required, with no wasted cable. Its flexibility allows it to be wrapped around complex fittings and valves. All of these characteristics simplify and streamline the design of a heat-tracing system. Installation is quick and simple. Low total operating cost Building operators are assured of optimal energy efficiency and low maintenance costs when an XL-Trace Edge system is specified. The same features that make an XL-Trace Edge system easy to install the first time also simplify additions or changes to the system during building renovations.

Refer to the Pipe Freeze Protection and Flow Maintenance Design Guide (H55838) for proper connection kit selection. APPROVALS Refer to the Pipe Freeze Protection and Flow Maintenance Design Guide (H55838) and the Fire Sprinkler Freeze Protections Design Guide (H58489) for specific product approval details. Note: The XL-Trace Edge system is not UL listed for plastic fire sprinkler pipes. GROUND FAULT PROTECTION To minimize the danger of fire from sustained electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged or improperly installed, and to comply with the requirements of nVent, agency certifications, and national electrical codes, ground fault equipment protection must be used on each heating cable branch circuit. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit protection. Many nVent RAYCHEM control and monitoring systems meet the ground fault protection requirement.
