SS braided leads

K1 Style: High temperature (840°F) with flexible abrasion resistant stainless steel braid exiting straight from a cartridge heater. An additional 1/4” cold section from the immersed length is allocated to accommodate the stainless steel jacket.

 

K2 Style: Highly flexible stainless steel braid acts as an abrasion resistant jacket to the high temperature (840°F) leads. This jacket is connected externally to the lateral extension of a 90° bracket. The bracket has the same diameter as the cartridge heater.

SS armor cable

X1 Style: High temperature (840°F) lead wires with abrasion and contamination resistant armor cable protection exit straight from a cartridge heater. The armor cable is brazed or crimped to the cartridge. In order to accommodate the armor cable, an additional 1/4” cold section is allocated at the lead end.

 

X2 Style: Protective armor cable, which is silver brazed to the side of a low profile stainless steel bracket, provides right angle transfer to the high temperature leads, when space is limited and elbows cannot be used.

 

X3 Style: Armor cables are less flexible than stainless steel braids, but provide contamination resistance in addition to superior protection against abrasion. A copper elbow braised to the cartridge heater externally provides 90° transfer.
