 Pipe Insert Heater

Typically to heat:
2 1/2“ steel screw plug asphalt, tar, starch,
Requires a 2 1/2” half coupling welded into tank glucose, sugar
Includes pipe well, 2” NPT schedule 40 carbon steel pipe large storage tanks, corrosive liquid
Up to 600 volts
Optional “K” type High Limit Thermocouple
Optional Auto-reset High Limit
Weather Resistant terminal box
(specifiy voltage and 1 or 3 phase when ordering)
Pipe Insert Heaters offer you the advantages
of direct immersion heat, and the ability to
service the heater without draining the tank.
The Incoloy sheathed element inside the pipe
is carefully deigned for this application, and
transfers its heat to the inside pipe wall by
convection and radiation. The large surface
area of the pipe in contact with your liquid
greatly reduces the watt density (watts/in2),
