FLVw Self-Regulating Heating Cables – Tmax 85 °C
The Freezstop Wide Low-Power is a self-regulating heating cable designed for freeze protection and temperature maintenance of pipes and equipment, including tanks, in the construction and refrigeration sectors.
This heating cable can be cut to length on site, allowing a customized, quick, and design-free installation, and is powered by low voltage (12–24 VAC/VDC).
Thanks to its self-regulating technology, the Freezstop Low Voltage Wide automatically adjusts its output according to the pipe temperature, ensuring optimal performance without energy waste. It will not overheat or burn and remains completely safe even if overlapped.
Robust, reliable, and easy to install, this low-voltage self-regulating heating cable provides high-performance thermal protection for demanding environments and complies with ATEX, IEC, and CE standards.

The Freezstop Low Voltage Wide is a self-regulating heating cable, available in 12 V and 24 V, specifically designed for freeze protection and temperature maintenance of pipes and tanks in the construction, commercial refrigeration, and cold storage sectors.
Application Example:
In recreational vehicles such as caravans, motorhomes, or camper vans, water tanks, pipes, and valves must remain operational even in cold conditions.
Problem Example:
In freezing conditions, pipes can burst and damage the vehicle’s plumbing system, leading to costly repairs and vehicle downtime.
Solution:
Installing 12 V or 24 V electric heating cables wrapped around pipes, valves, or tanks maintains the desired temperature. Beyond freeze prevention, electric tracing also allows:
-Maintaining a constant temperature in tanks to prevent effluent solidification
-Ensuring stable temperatures in certain areas of the vehicle, such as the living compartment, for increased occupant comfort
Self-Regulating Heating Cables – Freezstop Low-Power FLVw are used in the following sectors:
-Outdoor Infrastructure
-Construction and Building
-Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration
-Agriculture
-Food & Beverage Industry
