What Are You Protecting?
Select your application to find the right self-regulating heat trace cable, recommended wattage, and installation guidance for your project. Choose polyolefin for standard applications, and fluoropolymer for chemical, salt, oil, UV, or corrosive exposure environments.
Pipe Freeze Protection
Keep water, drain, and process lines flowing in any climate. Suitable for both residential and industrial.
Roof & Gutter Deicing
Prevent ice dams, protect gutters, and keep downspouts draining all winter.
Process Temperature Maintenance
Maintain fluid viscosity and line temperature for hot water, condensate, and process lines.
Hazardous Locations
Fluoropolymer-jacketed cable rated for classified areas with corrosive or flammable exposure.

What Makes Self-Regulating Heat Trace Cable Different?
Semiconductive Polymer Core
Two parallel bus wires are embedded in a carbon-impregnated polymer core. This core is the heating element — its molecular structure changes with temperature to control electrical resistance and heat output.
Automatic Temperature Adjustment
When the surrounding temperature drops, the polymer contracts, forming more conductive pathways and increasing heat output. When it warms up, the polymer expands and reduces output, automatically, along every inch of cable.
Safe, Efficient, Cut-to-Length
Self-regulating cable can be cut to any length in the field, safely overlapped without burning out, and delivers heat only where and when it's needed, reducing energy waste compared to constant wattage systems.
Engineered for Every Application,
Built with One Standard of Quality
Every FloTrace cable is built around a shared self-regulating core. Choose the outer jacket material that matches your environment, from standard commercial setups to demanding chemical or hazardous environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Collapsible content
What is self-regulating heat trace cable?
The cable automatically increases or decreases its heat output as the
surrounding temperatures changes. A thermostat or controller may still be
recommended to shut the system off when heat isn't needed and to reduce energy
consumption.
How do I know which cable is right for my project?
It comes down to your application, wattage need, voltage, and installation environment. Standard polyolefin-jacketed cable covers most residential and commercial projects; fluoropolymer or HazLoc-rated cable is the call for chemical exposure, corrosive atmospheres, or classified hazardous locations. Not sure where you land? Answer a few quick questions above and we'll point you to the right product.
How does FloTrace compare to brands like Raychem or Thermon?
FloTrace cable is built to the same UL 515 standard and carries the same certifications as the major brands. The difference is how it's sold — brands like Raychem and Thermon go through distributors who mark up the price before it reaches you. FloTrace sells direct, so you're paying for the cable, not the supply chain.
Do you offer free samples, and what are your shipping and warranty terms?
Yes — you can request a free 1-foot sample of any cable before committing to a full spool. Every FloTrace cable ships with a 10-year manufacturer warranty, orders over $1,000 qualify for free shipping, and orders placed before 2 PM EST ship the same day.
