HTS/Amptek® Heavy Duo-Tapes® are heating tapes with a protective AMOX™ overbraid and may operate to exposure temperatures of 1400°F (760°C), and are available in ½ inch and 1 inch widths and lengths from 2 feet to 16 feet. These are Heavy Insulated Tapes that may be used on metal conductive surfaces, as well as glass and ceramic. The serpentine DuoTape® element provides flexibility and durability which allows both power leads to be on one end. The knitted construction, allows for flexibility and even distribution of heat. This model is offered in three watt densities: Low 3.25, Medium 8.67, or High, 13 watts per square inch, for the most aggressive heat response. Do not overlap this element.
For an optional molded plug please select a '-MP' Model NO.

DUOTAPE® ELEMENT
The heating element is multi-strand resistance wire, braided with AMOX™ yarn and knitted into the serpentine shape to minimize thermal shock and tensile stress from expansion and contraction. The side-by-side wire configuration permits the lead wires to be on one end. The Duo-Tape® configuration is the most popular of all our flexible elements.
Heavy AMOX™ Overbraid Cover
The Heavy Insulated Tapes have a flexible, braided sleeving over the heating element to provide additional dielectric strength for application on conductive surfaces (use directly on metal). Heavy Duo-Tapes® will wrap around small 3/8” to ¼” (8mm to 6mm) tubing. Heat additives provide capability to 1400°F (760°C).
MOLDED PLUG OPTION (120V)
Standard Duo-Tapes® do not include a power plug. 120V tapes may be ordered with the optional molded plug (-MP). No power plug option is available for 240V tapes. Commercially available connectors may be installed for the customer or sourced locally. Duo-Tapes® do not utilize a grounding circuit and provide a two wire connection. For Earth Ground Leakage protection a circuit protector (30ma GFCI) is recommended.
