SKU: SSS-DC-HEAT-12V-1MT
This DC self-regulating heat cable is designed for reliable pipe freeze protection in Canadian cold climates, operating on 12V OR 48V DC power. It is ideal for solar battery systems, off-grid cabins, RVs, marine applications, and mobile power systems where AC heat tracing is not practical or available.
Each cable is supplied in fixed cut lengths with factory-terminated positive and negative leads, allowing for fast, clean installation without cutting, splicing, or field termination.
The self-regulating conductive polymer core automatically adjusts heat output as temperatures change, delivering efficient freeze protection while preventing overheating—even when the cable overlaps itself.
Available in 12V and 48V DCDesigned specifically for low-voltage DC systems, commonly used across Canadian solar, RV, marine, and off-grid installations.
Pre-Terminated DC LeadsFactory-installed positive and negative wire ends for direct connection to batteries, DC distribution panels, or charge-controlled circuits.
Self-Regulating Heating TechnologyHeat output increases or decreases automatically based on pipe or ambient temperature, improving safety and energy efficiency.
Fixed Cut Lengths – No Field CuttingSupplied in 3 m, 5 m, and 7 m lengths for predictable performance and simplified system planning.
Safe Overlap DesignWill not overheat or burn out, even when crossed or overlapped during installation.
Built for Canadian Winter ConditionsSuitable for freeze protection in Alberta, BC, Ontario, Quebec, and northern regions.
Freeze protection for water supply lines in off-grid homes and cabins
RV and camper plumbing during winter use or storage
Marine and dockside DC systems
Solar battery installations exposed to freezing temperatures
Outdoor piping where DC power is the only available source

Note:
Heat output varies continuously along the cable depending on local pipe temperature, providing efficient freeze protection while preventing overheating.
⚠️ Important Installation Notice:This heat cable must be connected to the correct DC voltage (12V or 48V). Proper polarity, over-current protection, and adherence to Canadian electrical safety practices are required.
