Right angle leads -
Right angle lead construction offers lead protection where leads might
otherwise be bent at a sharp angle exiting the heater. The cap is seal
welded to heater for contamination resistance. A protective sleeve
covers the leads where they exit the heater to provide protection from
metal edges and offer resistance to flexing. Right angle construction
is available with standard leads, stainless steel braid over the
leads, and stainless steel flexible conduit. Available with 14”, 26”,
or 38” leads.
-
Stainless steel braided
leads - Stainless steel braid offers excellent abrasion protection
and flexibility. Stainless steel braid is not watertight and offers
little resistance to crushing or sharp objects. Stainless steel braid
is available straight out of the heater or can be combined with the
right angle construction.

Stainless steel
flexible conduit - Stainless
steel flexible conduit offers the best abrasion
resistance and good resistance to crushing. Stainless steel conduit is
not watertight. Stainless steel flexible conduit is often referred to
as armor or hose.

Stainless steel NPT fitting - NPT fittings are
available in both brass and stainless steel. Please note that Marathon
Today heaters have a
304SS sheath. It is important to check compatibility with any fluids
in which the heaters may be immersed. Fittings can be installed on
heaters with braid or stainless steel flexible conduit. Heater
cavities can be potted for extra moisture resistance.

-
Stainless steel flange - Flanges
can offer a means of holding the heater in place to prevent backing
out during operation. Flanges can also aid in heater removal. Flanges
are TIG welded for a complete seal. Flanges are .062 thick. Fittings
can be installed on heaters with braid or stainless steel flexible
conduit. Heater cavities can be potted for extra moisture resistance.
-
Epoxy potting - Several potting compounds are
available for Today heaters.
Potting compounds are available for protection from moisture and
contamination. Often times potting is used in conjunction with
sleeving where the leads exit the heater to provide a strain relief
for the leads. Please note that due to cure times, most type of
potting can not ship the same day as ordered.

Copper Elbow - Copper
elbows are normally used in conjunction with stainless steel flexible
conduit. But, they can also be used with stainless steel braid or
regular leads when potting is desired in a right angle configuration.
They are also better than standard right angle construction in
applications with a lot of flexing.
-
Copper Coupler -
Copper couplers are another means of attaching stainless steel flexible
conduit to heaters.
-
Convoluted Tubing -
Convoluted tubing offers a completely watertight and contamination proof
method of protecting the leads. Convoluted tubing is stiffer than
flexible conduit and has a larger bend radius. Convoluted tubing is only
available for 1/2”, 5/8” and 3/4” heaters. Convoluted tubing is
available in 12”, 24”, and 36” lengths in both straight and right
angle construction.
