Orbit Offers Longer Cable for Floor Warming Applic

Perkasie, PA, June 21-- Orbit Radiant Heating, a provider of high-quality electric radiant heating solutions for residential and commercial applications, has added a new, longer cable to its line of durable, high-quality Nexans radiant heating cable. The new TXLP/1-2600/17 cable is designed for interior floor warming and space heating applications in individual rooms in private homes as well as hotels and resorts, or to heat an entire building. The 512-ft. TXLP/1-2600/17 cable covers between 221 and 260 sq. ft., or at least 18% more than other existing models. As a result, installers use fewer cables, saving both time and money. In addition, since it only draws a maximum of 11.3 amps at 230 volts, it can be connected directly to a thermostat, rather than a control panel, offering additional hardware savings. The durable, maintenance-free TXLP/1-2600/17 cable can be used in wet bed or slab installations, and in combination with the proper thermostat can be used with any type of flooring material including tile, hardwood, laminates, and carpet. The cable is manufactured using a high-quality polyethylene-covered resistance wire core, a corrugated copper ground wire covered by a metallic sheath, and a rugged PVC covering that provides durable protection during installation, and ensures a long operational life. A patented hidden welded splice feature, with splice points clearly marked, simplifies installation and ensures safe operation in any type of application. The 230V TXLP/1-2600/17 cable, as are all Nexans TXLP radiant heating cables, is up to three times thicker in diameter than similar products, maximizing reliability. The UL-listed cables are designed to meet current NEC regulations when properly installed, and come with a 10-year warranty. Pricing for the TXLP/1-2600/17 cable starts at $902, which includes a programmable floor-sensing thermostat. Delivery is normally three to five days ARO.
