Hott-Wire comes with an industry leading, 10-year manufacturer’s warranty. Hott-Wire is ETL Listed for snow and ice melting applications.

The power requirements vary from system to system.  Generally Hott-Wire heating systems require a 208, 240, or 277 volt supply 30 Amp breaker for smaller areas. For larger areas a double pole 40 Amp breaker is used. Systems are designed to ASHRAE standards and vary in size and load depending on region and application

Hott-Wire is a resistance Mineral Insulated heating cable that is very durable. Hott-Wire is a fixed length line voltage element consisting of a central single or dual conductor surrounded by fiberglass inert insulation compressed in a Copper tube, which is coated with an HDPE Jacket.  Hott-Wire has been engineered to work as a line voltage system.

Tuff Cable systems can be activated with an aerial mounted moisture and temperature sensor, temperature sensor, pavement-mounted snow sensor, or 12 hour timer.  The aerial and pavement mounted sensor will automatically turn on when the temperature is below 38 degrees and there is moisture on the sensor.

Tuff Cable heating element is the perfect choice for snow melting in driveways, sidewalks and stairs. Tuff Cable systems can be installed in new pour concrete, under tile or pavers in a sand bed, and can be retrofitted into existing concrete or asphalt.

Tuff Cable is a resistance heating wire that is very durable, 10 gauge coated copper cable that is chemical resistant and comes with footage marks on the wire.  The Tuff Cable has been engineered to work as a low-voltage system.

Tuff Cable can be retrofit in any asphalt, concrete, or cementitious base.
