2. Trace heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_heating

   Electric heat tracing, heat tape or surface heating, is a system used to maintain or raise the temperature of pipes and vessels using heat tracing cables. Trace heating takes the form of an electrical heating element run in physical contact along the length of a pipe.

3. Pipe insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_insulation

   Insulated hot water supply and return hydronic piping on a gas-fired boiler. Since pipework can operate at temperatures far removed from the ambient temperature, and the rate of heat flow from a pipe is related to the temperature differential between the pipe and the surrounding ambient air, heat flow from pipework can be considerable.

4. Thermal insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_insulation

   Insulating these pipes using pipe insulation reduces energy into unoccupied rooms and prevents condensation from occurring on cold and chilled pipework. Pipe insulation is also used on water supply pipework to help delay pipe freezing for an acceptable length of time. Mechanical insulation is commonly installed in industrial and commercial ...

5. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

   A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.

   Some people insulate their pipes, some wrap with heat tape. Others let their faucets drip a little to prevent frozen pipes. Use battery-powered lights and flashlights, and have back-up batteries.

7. Heat-shrinkable sleeve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrinkable_sleeve

   Heat-shrinkable sleeves are applied onto the cutback at the field weld or "field joint" during the construction of a pipeline. As described above, the heat-shrinkable sleeves have an adhesive that sticks the sleeve to the cutback and the factory applied mainline coating and also acts as a corrosion protective layer.
