Raychem fg1-100p Heat Cable 120V 8w/ft 100ft Wet Area

Product Description

The RAYCHEM fg1-100p is a self-regulating electric heat cable rated at 120 volts and 8 watts per foot, available in a 100-foot length. Self-regulating technology means the cable automatically adjusts its heat output based on the surrounding temperature, reducing power draw as conditions warm and increasing output as temperatures drop. This behavior eliminates the risk of overheating and makes the cable well-suited for freeze protection and pipe tracing in wet or damp environments. Licensed electricians and plumbing professionals typically install this product in residential and light commercial applications.

The fg1-100p is designed for wet area installations, making it appropriate for use on water supply pipes, drain lines, and roof and gutter deicing applications where moisture exposure is expected. The self-regulating core handles varying temperature zones along a single run without creating hot spots, which is a common requirement in pipe-tracing work. At 100 feet, this cable covers longer pipe runs in a single length, reducing the need for multiple splice connections.

Key Features

• Self-regulating output automatically adjusts to ambient temperature conditions
• Rated for wet area use, suitable for damp and moisture-exposed installations
• 120-volt operating voltage compatible with standard single-phase circuits
• Nominal output of 8 watts per foot across the 100-foot length
• Eliminates hot spots by varying power output along the cable length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electric heat cable for residential and light commercial freeze protection and pipe-tracing applications on water piping, drain lines, and roof or gutter systems requiring 120-volt self-regulating heat trace.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 427 and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any wiring connections. The cable must not be overlapped, cut to length in the field, or installed where it contacts flammable insulation unless the product is specifically rated for that contact. Follow the manufacturer installation guide for end-seal and power-connection termination requirements.
