BRITECH Introduces Twisto Connection Kits

May 30, 2018

BRITECH Heating Cables & Controls is helping make connections easier in the heating cable market. The new TWISTO technology makes quick and easy heat tracing connections. It’s the biggest innovation in heating cable connection technology — making installations simple and fast with just a twist. Reduced assembly time and high reliability with fewer installation steps can help save time and costs.

With TWISTO all that is needed to assemble a heating circuit is a box cutter — eliminating the work of exposing the two conductors, the laborious splicing and twisting of the protective braiding and then connecting to a terminal. When using TWISTO just a piece of the outer protective jacket is removed, a clamping sheet is fitted over a part of the exposed braiding, the remaining part is pulled back over the clamping sheet. The heating cable is then inserted into the clamp-cutting fixture and by twisting together the two outer sleeves (one sleeve comes ready prepared with a 2 m long supply cable), the heating cable is contacted in the clamp-cutting fixture. The end terminal consists of just one part and glue. The end of the self-regulating heating cable is shortened and inserted into the terminal piece by using the silicone glue.

“We are very excited to introduce the TWISTO connection kits to the Canadian heating cable market. Our customers can simplify their heat trace connections, saving time and money” says Gerry Lemieux, President of Britech.
