Parflex Multi-Tube & Heat Traced Bundles
Parker Hannifin's "Parflex"
Parker Hannifin's Parflex single and multi-tube heat trace tubing products are available in a variety of configurations. Tube bundle variations include thermoplastic tubing, copper, stainless steel and other exotic alloys, jacket materials and colors – all available to meet customer specifications.
A key design feature of the multi-tube products is the umbilical assembly process.
Each element within the multi-tube assembly is helically cabled for superior thermal performance & ease of mechanical installation.
Advantages of the Parflex assembly process:
The helically cabled process reduces stress on tubing when bending for installation.
Less space is required in cable trays to other manufacturers who run parallel tube assemblies.
The tubes will not separate in bends, which helps to keep thermal performance high.
Perfect for projects where many long runs and multi- plane bends are required.
Reduces potential damage of elements during installation routing.
