1.0 PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
WarmlyYours Heating Cable is designed for concrete slab floors of new homes,
outdoor driveways, walkways, stairs and patios. It is well suited for large areas like
basements, garages, additions and driveways.
The Heating Cable is comprised of a dual, multistrand heating element with a primary
insulation of Fluoropolymer. The insulated core is then protected with a woven metal
braid and an outer jacket of PVC, EPR or Zero Halogen Polyolefin based compound
to make it sturdier and to provide corrosion protection. These cables are terminated
with 20’ (6.1m) long standard cold leads. The hot and cold junction is uniquely
designed to make it 100% fool proof.
The Snow Melting Mat is a cable in mat construction (for snow melt applications)
which consists of the Heating Cable taped on a Polypropylene (PP) mat. The Heating
Cable is laid in a serpentine fashion so that it is equally spaced and distributed on
the (PP) mat.
Available in a wide range of capacities and sizes to suit your requirements, the Snow
Melting Mats and Heating Cables are identified as indicated below.
Item Number: AAAA-BBB-CCCC
Ex: Item Number: WHMA-240-0250
(product type) (voltage) (width & length = 2’x50’)
• AAAA = WHMA for Snow Melting Mat, WHCA for Snow Melting Cable and
WSHM for Slab Heating Mat, WSHC for Slab Heating Cable
