  • Free from electromagnetic fields
  • CSA-approved for indoor installation in dry or damp environments
  • Protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) built into the True Comfort thermostat
  • Maintenance-free
  • Energy savings
*When the installation complies with the installation guide, the electromagnetic field measurement of 0.25 to 0.5 milligauss is considered insignificant.

MANUFACTURING

  • Constant diameter for use in uncoupling membranes
  • Heating elements covered with thermoplastic polymer insulation
  • Double heating element allowing a return to the thermostat inside the cable (therefore, cable layout planning doesn’t require a return to the thermostat)
  • Copper braiding
  • Flexible, robust cable with minimal shape memory
  • Adapts to all room shapes and sizes
  • Maximises total power to heat a room
