Protect pipes ahead of severe winter weather

06-12-2013

The majority of failing pipes in this country are caused by pipes bursting when frozen. The Association of British Insurers identify that burst pipes cost their members £2.5 million in claims every day*. As a result of the harsh 2010 winter over £1 billion was paid out in a month due to pipe impairment and consequential damage.

Heat Mat has a range of easy to install pipe protection suitable for multiple applications and use on building sites or existing buildings. Systems can be used for small domestic applications or larger commercial purposes.

Pipe protection available for:

• Outdoor water supplies
• Boiler condensate pipes
• Water and waste pipes
• Sprinkler systems
• Farm and animal water supplies
• Irrigation systems

Pipe protection with an integrated thermostat
Heat Mat PipeGuard is a ready-to-go product ideally suited to quick, simple domestic jobs such as outdoor water pipes, garden pipes or sprinklers and boiler condensate pipes. It stops frozen, cracked and damaged pipes and keeps water flowing down to -25°C. Once installed Heat Mat PipeGuard automatically ensures heat is applied to the pipe when the temperature drops close to freezing, and switches off again to save energy once the pipe reaches a safe temperature. The product is fitted with a frost protection thermostat.

Trace heating
For larger domestic or commercial pipe protection requirements Heat Mat specifies Trace Heating.
