Commercial pipe frost protection
Commercial pipe frost protection from Chemelex Raychem offers a reliable solution for frost protection in commercial environments. The XL-Trace heating cables are made with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) materials. This advanced technology ensures that the cables emit up to 90% less smoke in the event of a building fire and have improved self-extinguishing properties. This not only provides better protection for your pipes but also enhances safety for the occupants and infrastructure of your building.
Another key feature of our new series of heating cables is the use of the RayClic system. This system offers a quick and easy connection, saving significant time and money compared to traditional connection methods. With the RayClic system, installers can quickly and efficiently install the heating cables without complex wiring or special tools. This reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of errors, resulting in a reliable and durable frost protection solution.
Heat tracing as a reliable solution
The self-regulating technology of our heating cables ensures that the heat output is automatically adjusted to the surrounding conditions. This means that the cables deliver exactly the right amount of heat to prevent pipe freezing, regardless of how cold it gets outside. As a result, your pipes remain protected and operational, which is essential for the continuity of business operations.

Connecting a Circuit for Heating Cables: A Brief Explanation
The connection of XL-Trace heating cables with the RayClic system is simple and efficient, reducing installation time and costs. Here’s a step-by-step guide to properly connect your system:
Step 1: Start at the Junction Box
Each RayClic system begins with a junction box. From this junction box, a cable runs to your Building Management System (BMS) or a power connection to the thermostat. This forms the foundation of your heating system and ensures proper power supply and control settings.
Step 2: Connecting to the thermostat
From the junction box, a cable runs to the thermostat. This is where temperature regulation takes place. Depending on your installation needs, you will use one of the following connections:
- RayClic-CE-02: For a standard connection.
- RayClic-PT-02 of RayClic-PS-02: When you have multiple branches at your starting point.
Step 3: Starting the tracing circuit
From the RayClic-CE-02 connection, you can connect your tracing cable and start your heating circuit. This allows the heating cables to run directly from the thermostat, ensuring a seamless and efficient heating line.
Step 4: Managing Branches
If you encounter branches during installation, the RayClic system provides flexible solutions:
- RayClic-T-02: For a T-branch, where one cable splits into two directions.
- RayClic-X-02: For an X-branch, where one cable splits into three directions.
These components enable you to manage multiple routes and circuits from one system, increasing the flexibility of your heating solution.
Step 5: Finishing the Cable
As the final step, you need to finish the cable with a RayClic-E-02 end cap. This end cap ensures the ends of the heating cables are properly sealed and protected from moisture, contributing to the durability and reliability of the system.
Additional fittings and accessories
For a complete and safe installation, the RayClic system also offers a wide range of fittings and accessories, including:
- Pipe supports: For securely mounting thermostats or junction boxes on pipes.
- Warning labels: To indicate that the pipes are heated.
- Insulation pass-through kits: For safely passing cables through insulation materials.
- Components for extending damaged cables: For repairing and extending existing installations.
