Fluoropolymer (PTFE) Heaters

SUPERIOR CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: Inert to most aqueous acid, alkaline, anodizing and pickling solutions up to 212°F (100°C).

RUGGED CONSTRUCTION: Heavy wall fluoropolymer (PTFE) covered stainless steel element reduces permeation and eliminates the need for gas purge systems. Guaranteed 100% pinhole free.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE: Low watt density design (10 watts/square inch, 1.5w/cm2) for long service life. Flat, low profile design saves space in the tank. (This configuration not recommended for electroless chemistries or phosphoric acid.)

CORROSION RESISTANT HEAD: Vapor tight, flame retardant polypropylene terminal enclosure with 3-foot (.9m) flexible PVC liquid tight conduit.

SAFETY FEATURES:
- Grounded internal metal element.
- Thermal protector built in. Replaceable PT-I fuse standard for solutions up to 190°F (88°C).
- Non-floating construction.

CERTIFICATIONS: UL, CSA, and CE.

SIZES: 500 watts to 6,000 watts.

VOLTAGES: 120, 240 or 480 volts. 208, 380, 415, 600 and other voltages available. Single phase only.

OPTIONS AVAILABLE:
- Replaceable thermal protectors:
- PT-IM: for solutions from 190°F (88°C) to 220°F (104°C).
- Resettable thermal protectors:
- PT-II: bi-metal switch for solutions up to 190°F (88°C).
- PT-III: type-J thermocouple for solutions from 190°F (88°C) to 210°F (99°C).
- PIII: type-J thermocouple for solutions from 210°F (99°C) to 250°F (121°C).
- Longer vertical lengths (cold zones).
