A fluoropolymer sheath material
is extruded over the two multi stranded, nickel plated, 12-gauge copper
bus wires. The nichrome heating element is spirally applied around
parallel construction and in contact with the bus wires at specific
intervals known as zones. A fluoropolymer outer jacket is then extruded
over the construction to provide dielectric strength, moisture resistance,
and for protection from impact and abrasion damage. A stranded tinned
copper metal braid is supplied on all heaters. An optional stainless steel
braid is available for mechanical abuse situations. An optional
fluoropolymer overjacket can be specified when the heater is to be
installed in wet or corrosive environments.
