Available in single- or double-ended termination styles, the
versatile and economical WATROD™ tubular heating element from
Watlow® lends itself to virtually the entire range of immersion and air
heating applications.
The single-ended WATROD tubular heater design has both terminals at
one end. The opposite end is sealed. Flexible lead wires are 12 in. (305
mm) crimp connected to the terminal pin and have silicone-impregnated
fiberglass oversleeves.
The double-ended WATROD electric tubular heaters, with their round
cross-sectional geometry, are highly adaptable for bending—especially
when bending is performed in the field. Watlow's double-ended MULTICOIL™
tubular elements offer various combinations of resistor coils and
thermocouples inside one sheath. They have the ability to sense the
heater's internal temperature accurately every time, or offer
three-phase capability in one element.
Both single- and double-ended WATROD tubular heating elements share
many construction features delivering long life—the resistance wire is
centered in the heater sheath and electrically insulated with compacted,
high-grade magnesium oxide for superior heating performance.
WATROD tubular heating elements have a variety of mounting and
termination options making them highly popular among industrial
customers.
