RP, RP/T, and RP/I heating tapes are mainly used to protect piping from freezing, but they can also be used to maintain temperatures up to 60°C. Insulation is provided by an extremely flexible, high-temperature PVC which makes the tapes easy to use. To ensure that these heating elements enjoy a long service life, we recommend using a control device.
