Maxistrip Heater with Mounting Holes
Mounting holes can be provided down the center or located along the phantom lines between the holes shown on the drawings in “Learn More”.
Standard Hole Diameter: 5/16″
Maximum Hole Diameter: 1/2″ (center of width only)
Maxistrip Special Width
By combining one or more standard width (1-1/2″, 2-1/2″, 3″ and 4″) aluminum strip heater channels, wider surface areas can be developed. If required specify mounting holes when submitting to Tempco.

Type R1: Single Armor Cable Leads
Armor Cable provides excellent protection against abrasion and contaminants. The cable exits through an adapter that encapsulates the element ends. The adapter and cable are silver soldered on for maximum security and seal protection. 20″ of cable and 24″ flexible leads are standard.
Type R1A: Galvanized cable
Type R1B: Stainless steel cable
Options: Longer leads or cable. Male or female plugs attached to leads.
Type R: Blockhead Terminals
90° Blockhead Terminals with 10-32 threads. Special design can switch between 1800W and 900W at 240V.
Type S: Terminal Lugs
Terminal lugs with 10-32 binding head screws are the standard termination for all Maxistrip heaters.
Type T1: Straight Terminals
Straight outward screw terminals with 8-32 threads.
Type W1: Straight Wire Braid leads
Wire braid provides strength and protection to the lead wire insulation, offering sharp bending not possible with armor cable. 20″ of wire braid and 24″ flexible leads are standard. Options: Longer leads or braid. Male or female plugs attached to leads.
Type W2: Straight-Up Wire Braid Leads
Wire braid provides strength and protection to the lead wire insulation, offering sharp bending not possible with armor cable. 20″ of wire braid and 24″ flexible leads are standard. Options: Longer leads or braid. Male or female plugs attached to leads.
Type W3: Single Wire Braid Leads
Wire braid provides strength and protection to the lead wire insulation, offering sharp bending not possible with armor cable. 20″ of wire braid and 24″ flexible leads are standard. Options: Longer leads or braid. Male or female plugs attached to leads.

Type C: Terminal Box (General Purpose)
Terminal Boxes provide a simple and economical way to eliminate all live exposed terminals and electrical wiring that can be a potential hazard to employees or machines. Boxes have 1/2″ trade size knockouts (actual diameter 7/8″) for standard connections to simplify installation. Strip heaters fitted with boxes can be supplied factory prewired with leads, armor cable or braid.
Type CA: Box only
Type CB: Box with galvanized cable
Type CC: Box with SS cable
Type CD: Box with wire braid
Type P: Quick Disconnect Plugs
Quick-Disconnect Plug assemblies are highly recommended and should be used whenever possible. They provide the simplest and safest way to apply power to strip heater installations. The combination of plug and cup assembly, along with armor cable cover leads, eliminates all live exposed terminals and electrical wiring that can be a potential hazard to employees and machines. To simplify installation, Maxistrips fitted with P2 plug assemblies can be supplied prewired, using high-temperature lead wire protected with armor cable or wire braid. (for Type P on a 1-1/2″ wide Maxistrip consult Tempco.)
Type P2A: Box and cup only
Type P2C: w/ straight plug and galvanized cable
Type P2D: w/ straight plug and SS cable
Type P2E: w/ straight plug and wire braid
