1/8 Inch and 4MM Diameters 3 - 240 Volt Operation Hundreds of Sizes In Stock. Heaters As Short as 1/2"

  • When energized, the patented split-sheath expands into contact with surrounding bore for maximum heat transfer and fast response.
  • When de-energized, the split-sheath contracts for easy, slide-out removal. Sunrods are guaranteed never to seize in the bore.
  • Uninterrupted hot zone and fully heated tip provides unmatched heat distribution without cold spots.
  • Slender continuous leads simplify wire management. High flexibility allows free motion when heating "floating" components.
  • The result is a micro cartridge heater offering longer life, uniform temperatures, and easy installation in the smallest devices.

Many different builds of the tubular heaters from Backer Hotwatt ensure high performance with long, trouble free service!

The Hotwatt Tubular Heater has built-in resistance to shock, vibration, corrosion, and temperature extremes. The heater is swaged, reducing the diameter of the metal sheath and compacting the insulation. This insures rapid heat transfer and holds the coil in position for forming.

Backer Hotwatt Crankcase Heaters are constructed of the highest quality corrosion resistance materials and sealed against moisture.

Crankcase heaters are used to overcome the problem of migration and condensation of refrigerant in the crankcases of compressors used in air conditioning and heat pump systems. They are designed to keep the crankcase oil at a temperature higher than the coldest part of the system to prevent migration.
