Tempco Termination Protection

Type C2: Standard Terminal Box (on flat pad)

Type C2 is an individual terminal box for protecting the terminals on each Cast-In Band Heater half and on many other Cast-In Heater designs with one set of heater terminals.
The C2 box design requires a flat pad on half-round castings or a flat surface on other casting designs for mounting. It is made from heavy gauge, rust-resistant sheet metal. The cover is removable for easy access to terminals. The box has two 7/8″ diameter knockouts opposite each other for standard 1/2″ BX connectors.

Type EP: Explosion & Moisture Resistant Box

Cast iron explosion and moisture resistant boxes should be used in areas where the surrounding air may become contaminated with combustible gases or a high humidity level may exist. Installation requires one box per Cast-In Heater half and they are brazed to the tubular heater. The standard box has one 1/2″ NPT hub.

None

This Cast-In will not have Terminal Protection.

125 RMS Standard

RMS Surface Finish as defined in ASME B46.1 — RMS is the root mean square of the profile height deviations from the mean line, recorded within the evaluation length. The standard surface finish for the machined surface of Tempco cast-in heaters is 125 RMS.

Special Features

Electroless Nickel-Plated — A plating technique (without using an electric current) used to deposit a coating of nickel on a substrate to prevent corrosion, wear and also as a protective coating.

Teflon Coating — Teflon is non-reactive so it is often used in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive chemicals.

Hard coat anodizing — Anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear.

Magnaplate — Strong wear and corrosion resistance non-stick coating that withstands high temperatures.
